  3. Fears becoming an object of pity at school
  4. Is embarrassed about facing family members

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Fear of being blamed or of being disbelieved is a powerful motivator of silence. When the child fears that there will be no support, there is no reason to disclose the abuse. The other options are much more remote.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Securing the client's safety is the priority for care. This option sets forth expectations for the family and establishes the fact that the client's state will be monitored. The other options are ap-propriate interventions, but they are not the highest priority.
