Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Forensic nurses fill a gap where the health care system interacts with the legal system by meeting the needs of victims and perpetrators of violent crimes through enhanced quality of care and preventive services. Observation, documentation, preservation, and notification are critical for determining the legal outcomes of cases that involve violence. Although it is true that the legal system is supported, that is not the focus of care in these cases. The remaining options are not responsibilities unique to the forensic nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Rape trauma victims require time to process what has happened to them and to reorganize their lives, just as an individual who is grieving must do. The remaining options are not realis-tic nor therapeutic.
