  1. Indicates to the victim that this is an incorrect view.
  2. Makes it clear to the client that the rape was not a punishment for the client's own behavior.
  3. Acknowledges the client's spiritual frustration and invites the client to express these feelings.
  4. Explains that rape can happen even to the most religious people.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The nurse validates the client's spiritual struggle and at the same time invites the client to express these feelings. This allows the client to grieve and ultimately to heal. The other responses are nontherapeutic, offer judgment, minimize the client's spiritual struggle, and/or may inhibit the client's willingness to work through feelings of guilt and responsibility for the attack.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: A behavioral contract is a behavior modification plan arranged as a specific agreement between the individual and the team of caregivers who identify the behavior and design the plan. To be effective, the behavioral contract is tailored for the individual client. A contract that is reflective of the client's illness, considers the client's functionality, and reflects characteristics within the family are all aspects of tailoring the contract for the individual.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
