Answer to Question 1
D
The female rape victim might be frightened of or reluctant to interact with men, so a female nurse is preferable. The patient should not be made to feel hurried or pressured, but needs to feel nurtured and understood.
Answer to Question 2
C

Assessment questions and the physical procedures often seem as intrusive violations of privacy, and even physically threatening to an already vulnerable individual. The patient might refuse to have evidence collected or to involve law enforcement.
