D

Feedback

B Sexual abuse crosses all gender, socioeconomic, age, and ethnic groups.
C The abuser may not fit any particular description.
D Most often, sexual abuse is at the hands of a former intimate partner or family member.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A To protect the patient from aspiration, the nurse should determine the presence of a gag reflex before administering oral medications.
B The nurse should first check for a gag reflex. Then, if possible, the patient should be allowed to self-administer oral medications.
C Checking for a gag reflex takes priority over assessing the ability to cough in preventing aspiration.
D Straws should be avoided because they decrease the control the patient has over volume intake, which increases the risk of aspiration. Some patients cannot tolerate thin liquids such as water, in which case they should be thickened.
