Answer to Question 1

C
The woman has been referred to be assessed for possible battering. Physical injuries are abuse
indicators and are the primary focus for assessment. No data support the other options.

Answer to Question 2

B
One-on-one supervision will be necessary to promote physical safety until sedation reduces the
client's feelings of terror. Option A: Checks every 15 minutes would not be sufficient to provide for
safety. Option C: A dimly lit room promotes illusions. Option D: Excessive fluid intake can cause
overhydration because fluid retention normally occurs when blood alcohol levels fall.
