Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Although the victim may have made choices that increased vulnerability, the victim is not to blame for the rape. The incorrect options either suggest the use of a nontherapeutic communication technique or do not permit the victim to restore control. No confusion is evident.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Of the options listed, the priority assessment is the victim's coping mechanisms. The other options have little relevance.
