Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale 1: Many sexual assault survivors who have gone through the judicial process refer to it as a second rapeand sometimes a more damaging one.
Rationale 2: The defendant's attorney might try to discredit her testimony, causing a second victimization.
Rationale 3: Publicity can intensify her feelings of humiliation.
Rationale 4: Prosecution of the assailant is a community responsibility in which the prosecuting attorney will act on the victim's behalf.
Rationale 5: Rape shield laws are quite common, and nearly every state prohibits the publicizing of a victim's sexual history.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Urine pH can be used to identify certain conditions, but would not be part of the initial assessment.
Rationale 2: Calculation of output would provide the best assessment of complete emptying of the bladder, because overdistention can cause trauma to the bladder, displace the uterus, and cause infection.
Rationale 3: Urine-specific gravity can be used to identify certain conditions, but would not be part of the initial assessment.
Rationale 4: Monitoring intake is an intervention that could help prevent urinary complications, but calculating the intake itself would not reveal a complication.
