Question 1 of 5

A nurse manager is reviewing the admission history of four adults who were admitted to the medical-surgical unit during the shift. Which of the following situations is the nurse required to disclose information to an outside agency about the client or the client's circumstances?

A young adult client admitted for acute glomerulonephritis following a viral infection D. D. An emancipated minor who has acute appendicitis and wants to leave the facility without treatment

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Physical signs of dependent adult abuse include skeletal fractures, as well as burns, bruises, welts, and lacerations. Nurses are responsible for reporting suspicion of dependent adult abuse to the proper legal authorities within the state. It is important for the nurse to note that a competent older adult has the right to make his or her own decisions about pursuing legal action. Unless a client has been found to be legally incompetent, he or she is not classified as a dependent adult.
