Answer to Question 1

A
Rape-trauma syndrome is a variant of posttraumatic stress disorder. Reporting the absence of signs and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder suggests that the long-term reorganization phase has been successfully completed. The distracters suggest that the process is ongoing.

Answer to Question 2

A
The perspective of each family member must be elicited and heard. Not only does the nurse gain information with this technique, but family members may be hearing the information for the first time and will come to better understand the position and feelings of other members. Maintaining a focus on the here and now may not be appropriate, because a certain amount of history may be relevant at the first meeting. Education regarding a particular disorder would be premature; further assessment is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Outcomes should be negotiated by the entire family, not imposed by the nurse.
