Answer to Question 1

C
Neutral, nonjudgmental care and emotional support are critical to crisis management for the rape
victim. Option A: The rape victim should not be left alone. Option B: The rape victim's anxiety may
escalate when touched by a stranger, even when the stranger is a nurse. Option C is not universally
appropriate. Some rape victims prefer not to have family involved.

Answer to Question 2

B
This statement leaves no loopholes. Option A: The wording about not harming oneself and not
making an attempt can be ignored by the client who thinks I am not going to harm myself, I am
going to kill myself or I am not going to attempt suicide, I am going to commit suicide.. Option C:
A client may call a therapist and leave the telephone to carry out the suicidal plan. Option D leaves a
huge loophole.
