Answer to Question 1

D
The oculomotor nerve controls extrinsic eye muscles and regulates pupil size. The trochlear nerve aids in voluntary movement of the eyeballs. The abducens nerve supplies the lateral rectus muscle of the eyes. The facial nerve supplies the muscles of the face, scalp, taste buds, and lacrimal glands.

Answer to Question 2

1. Instruct in guided imagery

Rationale:
Guided imagery can be used to gain control over memories of the rape, the goal being to reduce the frequency of flashbacks. The client may or may not need antianxiety medication. The client is unable to be distracted at this time. The nurse should not tell the client to move on; only the client knows when she will be ready to do this.
