Answer to Question 1

C
This is an example of secondary resistance in view of the fact that the client is displaying behaviors that will prolong his discharge from the facility, in an attempt to avoid his perception of the unpleasant living situation that awaits him upon discharge. Transference is a client's emotional response, based on earlier relationships, to the care provider. Primary resistance refers to simple avoidance of change or admitting the need for change. Tertiary resistance is not a used term.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The nurse should explain that a rapist uses weapons to terrorize and subdue the victim. Rape is the expression of power and dominance by means of sexual violence. Rape can occur over a broad spectrum of experience, from violent attack to insistence on sexual intercourse by an acquaintance or spouse.
