Answer to Question 1
A
Response:
The nurse needs to empower families to become the experts on their child's needs and condition via education and participation in care. The most positive approach is to let the mother know the nurse will support her and help her become an expert on her daughter's care. Telling the mother that she must learn how to care for her daughter or that she must have a positive attitude is not helpful. Telling her that she needs to collaborate with the caregivers is true but does not address her fears.
Answer to Question 2
C
Response:
During the reorganization phase, the survivor attempts to make life adjustments by moving or changing jobs and uses emotional distancing to cope. The disorganization phase is characterized by shock, fear, disbelief, anger, shame, guilt, and feelings of uncleanliness. During the denial or outward adjustment phase, the survivor appears outwardly composed and returns to work or school and refuses to discuss the assault and denies the need for counseling. During the integration and recovery phase, the survivor begins to feel safe and starts to trust others.
