Answer to Question 1

C
The client has a right to have rape protocol explained and to give consent to proceed through the
protocol. Options A and B: Data are not conclusive that the rights to advocacy or confidentiality
have been violated. Option D: Crisis intervention counseling is not a specific right, although the
client does have a right to be treated.

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients with breast cancer are often helped by the support and knowledge shared in support group
meetings. Techniques for coping can be learned from women who have had similar experiences.
Option A: There is no indication that the client is demonstrating negative cognitions. Option B:
Monitoring stress level is insufficient. The client would also need to be taught stress management
techniques. Option C: Pain management is not currently indicated.
