Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Female rape victims may request information about emergency contraception if the attacker did not use a condom. Plan B (levonorgestrel) is available over the counter and may be made available to the client at the facility performing the examination following the attack. The nurse should discuss the medication Plan B with the client. The nurse should not tell the client that it will be a few more days to know for sure if she is pregnant. The nurse should not question whether the rapist used a condom. The client does not want to get pregnant. The nurse should not talk about giving a baby up for adoption at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B

Encouraging deep breathing and coughing every 2 to 4 hours and encouraging the use of breathing, relaxation, and distraction all address the client's nursing care needs, which are similar to those of other surgical clients. Encouraging the client to ambulate to the bathroom to void might be an intervention done on the first or second day postpartum, but not in the first 4 hours. Leg exercises should be encouraged. Withholding analgesics may leave the client in pain.
