Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse's attitudes, values, and choices cannot be imposed upon the patient. The nurse must empower the patient to make her own decisions. Empowerment will help the patient develop strength to make growth-producing decisions independently. The remaining options would be counterproductive or have no bearing on the success of the care plan.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The state of chronic hyperarousal caused by the abuse is the basis for three common out-comes of childhood abuse: PTSD, depression, and irritable bowel syndrome. The conditions mentioned in the other options are not related to child abuse.
