Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Xerostomia is dry mouth, a common side effect in cancer patients. Providing a saliva substitute helps alleviate the discomfort associated with dry mouth by moistening the oral mucosa. Offering hard candy, as mentioned in choice A, can worsen xerostomia by increasing sugar content and potentially causing irritation. Administering analgesic medications, as in choice B, is not directly related to treating dry mouth. Splinting swollen joints, as in choice C, is irrelevant to xerostomia, which primarily affects the oral cavity.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Birth-3 years old.' Children between birth and 3 years of age have the highest rates of victimization (at 16 per 1,000 children). This age group is most vulnerable due to their dependency and inability to report or protect themselves effectively. Child abuse can occur at any age, but statistics show that infants and toddlers are at the highest risk due to their developmental stage and reliance on caregivers.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while child abuse can happen at any age, the prevalence is highest among children in the 0-3 age group.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Milieu therapy aims to provide routine daily experiences to clients. By offering a structured and predictable environment, it helps individuals feel safe and secure, reducing disruptive behaviors. Exploring the client's perception of reality (choice
A) may be part of therapy but not the primary focus. Enhancing social interaction abilities (choice
B) and addressing maladaptive behaviors (choice
C) are important aspects of therapy but not the primary purpose of milieu therapy.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The mothers in answers A, B, and C all require RhoGam as they are Rh negative with an Rh-positive baby or have experienced a stillbirth delivery, making them candidates for RhoGam injection. The mother in answer D is the only one who does not require Rhogam because she is Rh negative with an Rh-negative baby, eliminating the need for RhoGam administration.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct statement is that legally, a woman can be raped by her spouse. Rape is defined as sexual intercourse against someone's will, and it can occur between any two persons regardless of their relationship, including spouses.
Choice A is incorrect as most rapes are not reported due to various reasons like fear, shame, or distrust in the legal system.
Choice C is incorrect as prosecuting and convicting for rape can be challenging due to factors like lack of evidence, societal biases, and victim blaming.
Choice D is incorrect as the most common location of rape is not necessarily the victim's own home; it can happen in various settings such as public places, workplaces, or social gatherings.
