Question

QUESTION The nurse suspects that a patient who comes to the maternity clinic for a pregnancy test is in an abusive relationship. The nurse includes the abuse assessment screen as part of the assessment. Although the woman was very emotional and hesitant in responding to the questions, verbally she denied abuse as being a problem. While waiting for the results of the pregnancy test, the nurse decides to teach the patient about partner abuse anyway. The rationale for the nurse's decision is that all women should be informed about: a. The nurse's ethical responsibility to protect patients. b. The cycle of violence, which continues and escalates over time once it begins. c. Women's legal right not to be controlled by men. d. The masochistic nature of women who stay in abusive relationships Copyright 2018 by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
