Answer to Question 1

B
Loss of ego boundaries and synesthesia are common experiences during flashbacks. Synesthesia is
not experienced in the other options. The symptoms described are not characteristic of withdrawal
delirium, crashing, or sedative withdrawal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Before a nurse can be helpful to clients with sexual dysfunction, each must be aware of and
comfortable with his or her own feelings about sex and sexuality. As a corollary, nurses must be
comfortable with the idea that clients have a right to their own values and must avoid criticism and
censure.
