Answer to Question 1

A
A new registered nurse should not be assigned to lead an addiction therapy group. Therapeutic groups must be led by nurses with advanced training. The new registered nurse is capable of leading medication education, parenting support, and stress management groups.

Answer to Question 2

C
Military sexual trauma (MST) survivors may experience self-blame and doubt, and even have feelings of guilt that they somehow brought on the assault. This situation can result in an emotional invalidation of their traumatic experience when they report these incidents to superiors, only to be discouraged from following up on their claim or told that the abuse never happened. Having their report taken seriously and resulting in appropriate actions has a positive bearing on the victim's sense of validation. The remaining options lack the opportunity to open up discussion on that topic.
