1Read the following patient scenario and identify the step of the nursing process represented by each numbered nursing activity
Annie seeks the help of the nurse in the student health clinic because she suspects that her roommate, Angela, suffered date rape. She is concerned because Angela chose not to report the rape and does not seem to be coping well.
(1 - [blank_start]assessing[blank_end]) After talking with Annie, the nurse learns that although Angela blurted out that she had been raped when she first came home, since then she has refused verbalization about the rape ("I don't want to think or talk about it"), has stopped attending all college social activities (a marked change in behavior), and seems to be having nightmares.
