Answer to Question 2

3
1. Incorrect. Referring this patient to a counselor would be an appropriate measure but not the most important initial intervention.
2. Incorrect. A patient should be allowed to disclose any information that she feels the need to discuss. As a nurse, you would want to provide a safe environment to do so.
3. Correct. The survivor needs support on many different levels, and a women's health nurse may be the first person to whom she relates her story. Therapeutic communication skills and listening are initial interventions.
4. Incorrect. Either verbal or nonverbal shock and horror reactions from the nurse are par-ticularly devastating. Professional demeanor and professional empathy are essential.
