Answer to Question 1

D
Outcomes A, B, and C are unlikely to be met during the limited time the victim is in the emergency
department. Agreeing to keep a follow-up appointment is a realistic short-term outcome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Many clients find that spiritual measures, including prayer, are helpful in mediating stress. Studies
have shown that spiritual practices can enhance the sense of well-being. When a client suggests a
viable means of reducing stress, it should be supported by the nurse. Option A is pessimistic and
would cause further distress. Option C suggests an alternative and implies that the nurse does not
think prayer would be effective. Option D gives more information than the client is seeking.
