Identifying child abuse
Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a group of nurses about identifying child abuse. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a potential indicator of child abuse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a mother hesitating to comfort her 6-month-old infant can be an indicator of child abuse as it may suggest a lack of bonding and attachment between the mother and child. This lack of responsiveness can lead to emotional neglect, which is a form of child abuse. Other choices are less likely indicators of child abuse.
Choice A is more likely related to the toddler's behavior or fear of being examined.
Choice B is a common behavior in infants and is not necessarily indicative of abuse.
Choice D, bruises on a toddler's knees can be common in active children and may not always indicate abuse.
