Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Schools are controlled, structured environments intended to foster individuality, respect, and learning. Research supports that as many as 80 of male abusers come from homes in which they were abused or observed their mothers being abused. The home setting, therefore, has a higher occurrence of violence, followed by streets and residential centers, which also have higher occurrences of violence than schools.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The planning phase of the nursing process with behavioral contracting requires taking into consideration interactions with the nurse during the assessment interview including aspects of appearance, behavior, attitude, and responsiveness. Obtaining family cooperation and signing behavioral contracts occur during implementation. Orientation to the nursing process is not part of the planning phase. Observations that contribute essential information would be included in interactions during the assessment process.
