Answer to Question 1

C, D
Rationale: The nurse-client relationship in the subspecialty areas within forensic nursing practice
have in common that the nurse is engaged in working with either an alleged victim or an alleged
perpetrator. In addition, the specialty is further defined by the nursing role functions being
performed, functions that center on the identification, collection, documentation, and preservation of
potential evidence; and assessment of competence, risk, and dangerousness. Options A and B are not
related to the definition of forensic nursing.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E, F
Rationale: These topics, along with a focus on improved functioning in all family members, are
recommended as topics for education for both the family and the client. The other two topics are not
as fundamental.
