Answer to Question 1

A
The patient, a teenager, has relatively little control over her circumstances compared to her parents. However, when she approached her parent seeking support and protection, she was instead rebuffed and identified as the perpetrator rather than the victim. The patient made an effort to exert the power available to her by reporting the attempted assault, only to be accused herself and have the protection she desired withheld. Of the diagnoses listed, the most applicable would be powerlessness. There are no data to support an alteration in thought processes or interruption in family process. Rape-trauma syndrome involves posttraumatic stress disorderlike symptoms that include flashbacks and intrusive thoughts, none of which are documented here.

Answer to Question 2

A
H1 receptor blockade results in weight gain, which is undesirable for an obese patient. Blocking of the other receptors would have little or no effect on the patient's weight.
