Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Components for safety planning include a crisis/disaster plan, a place to go, how to get there, and other considerations. Safety planning involves discussing measures that the client may not have considered. For example, if an argument occurs at home, the woman should stay away from (1) the kitchen because sharp instruments are there and (2) the bathroom because the space is small and contains many hard surfaces. She should go to a room with a window or door, carry her cell phone, with 911 set to speed dial, and tell family members and neighbors. The basement is not appropriate because it is less likely to have windows or doors.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Femicide is a homicide (not a suicide) of a female that occurs in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Gender-based violence is violence that targets people or groups of people on the basis of their gender. IPV is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors that is perpetrated against an individual by one who is, was, or wishes to be in an intimate relationship with that individual and that may include inflicted physical injury, psychological abuse, sexual assault, progressive social isolation, deprivation, intimidation, and threats.
