Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D
Nursing diagnoses related to care of the client who has experienced a sexual assault would include anxiety, impaired verbal communication, and risk for injury.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The interpretation of a medical diagnosis as punishment by a higher power may signal an unrealistic perception of the crisis, potentially affecting the individual's ability to respond. The client's statement does not suggest a lack of support or impaired coping strategies. While the client likely has little experience with similar situations, this is not the focus of his statement.
