Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse would be suspicious that the adolescent has been a victim of abuse, if the adolescent refuses to have a physical exam. Adolescents who have been abused may make complaints of feeling sick to the stomach. These feelings are a result of the memories of the abuse and being touched by another individual. Other signs and symptoms might include feelings of nausea, pain with no stimuli, and nervous twitching.

Answer to Question 2

D
An example of rehabilitative services for the client with schizophrenia would include providing productive activity and occupational therapy. Rehabilitation involves increasing the client's capacity, both for social interactions and for productive activity (including gainful employment when feasible).
