Answer to Question 1

D
Children who witnessed their mothers being abused by the mother's intimate partners would more often experience problems in school and not academic success. These children may perform poorly in school, develop anxiety, depression, or excessive impulse control.

Answer to Question 2

C
In the above communication, a request is made that describes what the newly licensed nurse would like the charge nurse to do (i.e., stop calling the nurse the smart new degree nurse). This communication is clear and concise and describes the behavior that the nurse wants to stop. The remaining options fail to demonstrate effective use of appropriate assertiveness.
