Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The nurse should suspect that this client may have a history of childhood incest. Adult survivors of incest are at risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual dysfunction, somatization disorders, compulsive sexual behavior disorders, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse disorders.

Answer to Question 2
