Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Rape counselors are often women who have survived rape and have the resources to provide the long-term follow up and care required by the rape victim. Social Services would most likely refer to a rape counselor. A psychiatrist or obstetrician would not be indicated unless other issues existed.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: When administering a controlled drug, the nurse checks the number the record indicates are remaining in the stock supply against the actual number remaining. The medication will be found in a double-locked area or computer-controlled dispensing system. Unused portions must be discarded with another nurse according to facility policy, in a place where the medication cannot be retrieved. Another nurse must sign when wasting, but is not required when the entire dose is used.
