Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Signs of sexual maltreatment include vague reports of abdominal pain, a change in school performance, anxiety or trouble sleeping, and not wanting to be left alone with a certain adult. Spending time with peer-group friends is an expected preadolescent behavior and is not a sign of sexual maltreatment.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Goals of crisis intervention for families of rape victims include helping the family be supportive of the victim, discussing the sexual relationship between partners, and the partner expressing feelings have not changed. A goal is also to discourage violent retribution toward the rapist. The husband desiring to meet the rapist in a back alley indicates that crisis intervention goals have not been met.
