Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
It is pertinent for nurses to adopt a family-centered approach that encompasses family mem-bers in caring interventions so that they are recognized as part of the patient's context or en-vironment. Providing effective shift change information is an expectation regardless of the nature of the care. The remaining options would be considered standard practice in cases in-volving violence as a crime and not related to the plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Witnessing a violent crime and having knowledge of a violent crime in the family or commu-nity are considered precursors to posttraumatic illness. In addition to demonstrating symp-toms of PTSD, adolescents who live in poor urban neighborhoods are more likely to be ex-posed to multiple incidents of violence during their adolescence, which is strongly linked to major depression and anxiety disorders, particularly among women. Although substance abuse does play a role in community violence, this option lacks the personal connect of the correct option, at least in this scenario. The remaining options do not relate to the personal but rather the communal impact of violence.
