Answer to Question 1

A
The Glasgow Coma Scale assesses three areas of behavior: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. Cognitive level is not assessed with this scale.

Answer to Question 2

1. Has anyone touched you in a way that made you feel uneasy or uncomfortable?

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 in that they can fit scenarios that may have nothing to do with abuse.
