A young woman was assaulted walking home from church. The nurse developing the care plan would include which of the following as an outcome?
a. The client will testify against the perpetrator in court.
b. The client will buy a gun to carry in her purse at all times.
c. The client will attend a church in another neighborhood.
d. The client will regain her feelings of safety and security.
D
The violent act placed the client in the victim position. A major outcome would be to develop a feeling of being safe and secure. Testifying against the perpetrator would be positive; it will not resolve her feelings related to safety. Attending another church will not address the client's feeling. Purchasing a gun might be a good safety measure; however, the client could injure self or an innocent person if the gun is not used cautiously.
