Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Burkhardt and Nagai-Jacobson (2009) defined religion as an organized system of beliefs regarding the cause, purpose, and nature of the universe that is shared by a group of people, and the practices, behaviors, worship, and ritual associated with that system. Religious preference should be addressed with the spiritual assessment. Christianity is a form of religion that may be indicated by a patient but an assessment of Christianity is not appropriate. Depending on the individual's spirituality they may or may not have a belief in God or have Godly assumptions. Religious knowledge is not part of the admission process assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Sibling violence is often unrecognized. Many parents assume that it is natural, and even appropriate, for children to use physical force with one another. This leads to underreporting and may lead to future abuser tendencies. Sibling violence is highest in the early years and decreases with age. In all age groups, girls are less violent toward their siblings than are boys. Childhood abuse may have far-reaching consequences for the victim's health. Empirical data link child maltreatment and exposure to domestic violence with numerous outcomes, including aggression and violent behavior problems with peers, delinquency, depression, delayed cognitive functioning, poor academic performance, and symptoms of PTSD.
