Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: It is important to ask directly whether the client has been made uneasy or uncomfortable, as this would indicate that further assessment is necessary. The other answers express personal biases about the cause of abuse and the identity of the abuser, or are vague as they can fit scenarios that may have nothing to do with abuse.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Approaches associated with two or more nursing theories provide the nurse with enhanced capability to implement nursing interventions and care that is individualized for clients and their situationthe whole purpose of nursing care. Building the skill and effectiveness of the nurse, enhancing collaboration, and promoting consideration and use of nursing research are nurse-centered responses and fall much lower on the priority scale than individualized, client-centered care.
