Question 1 of 5
A client comes into the Emergency Department diagnosed with a fractured right wrist and states, 'I am fine, really, because it is all my fault. I knew he was in a bad mood and I got in his way.' The nurse should recognize which cycle of battery is this client in?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Phase II. In Phase II of the cycle of battery, the victim believes it is their fault and takes responsibility for the abuser's actions. In this scenario, the client blaming themselves for the abuse and feeling guilty aligns with Phase II. This phase often involves feelings of self-blame and justifying the abuser's actions. The other choices are incorrect because Phase I involves the tension-building phase, Phase III is the acute battering incident, and Phase IV is the calm, loving, and remorseful phase of the cycle of battery.
