Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Practices related to the identification of IPV vary, but it is generally agreed that a simple screening tool can be an effective strategy. A focused physical assessment and the involvement of social work are not warranted for all clients. A review of the definition and repercussions of IPV is likely not as effective as a simple and direct screening tool.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A person who is familiar with his or her surroundings is less likely to experience an accidental injury. As part of the hospital admission routine, it is important to orient the client to the safety features and equipment in the room. A bedpan should not be used for the sole reason of reducing the risk of falls, and pain medication should be provided in doses sufficient to treat the client's pain. A client should never be charged with supervising the safety of another client.
