Answer to Question 1

A
Higher rates of STIs are seen in women who are victims of intimate partner violence. The nurse should suspect the woman is in a violent relationship, and because patient safety comes first, the nurse should assess whether the patient feels safe to go home.
Asking whether the patient is cheating is judgmental and inappropriate. It also implies that the woman is to blame for her medical problem.
Suggesting that the patient's husband is cheating is judgmental and does not consider the safety of the patient. The other thing to consider is that some STIs can be asymptomatic in women for long periods of time. Placing blame on either partner is counterproductive and misses the opportunity to assess for violence. Women in violent relationships have higher rates of STIs.
Education on how STIs are transmitted and can be prevented is important for any patient who has a suspected STI, but this does not consider the patient's safety, so it is not the best answer.

Answer to Question 2

A
Trauma-related death and injury rates are higher in rural areas than in metropolitan areas, and more than half of the MVC-related deaths occur in rural residents.
Rural children have higher rates of death from all kinds of trauma.
A disproportionate number of deaths from MVCs occur in rural areas.
Rural roads may be less traveled, but they are not necessarily safer, considering that a disproportionate number of fatalities in this country occur in rural areas.
