Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Research shows that PTSD is more common in women than in men. This student statement indicates a need for further instruction.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should identify that a tendency to remain within one's own social organization may have played a role in the youth's choice to join a black gang. African Americans who have assimilated into the dominant culture are likely to be well educated and future focused. Those who have not assimilated may be unemployed or have low-paying jobs and view their future as hopeless, given their previous encounters with racism and discrimination.
