Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

Initial responses to rape generally include feelings of shock, denial, and disbelief. Anger and self-blame are early responses but not typically the initial response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, E

Lysine has been identified as an essential amino acid that decreases the pain of an episiotomy. This amino acid is present in meat, cheese, fish, eggs, and nuts. The nurse should instruct the client to tighten the buttocks before sitting to reduce the pain. The client should wash the area daily and the peripad should be changed four times a day to decrease the risk of infection, not pain. Performing leg scissor kick exercises would put strain on the incision site and should not be done.
