Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
No predetermined cutoff scores exist on the DA. The higher the number yes answers, the more serious the danger of the woman's situation. The use of this tool is not limited to law enforcement personnel and is not required in every case of suspected abuse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Depression is one of the conditions that is particularly associated with IPV. Abused women also have been found to have more chronic health problems, such as neurologic, gastrointestinal, and gynecologic symptoms; chronic pain; and symptoms of suicidality and posttraumatic stress disorder.
