Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department (ED) is assessing a preschooler who has a fractured arm. For which of the following should the nurse further investigate as a warning sign of child maltreatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The child was brought to the ED 2 days after the injury occurred. A delay in seeking medical care for a significant injury is a potential warning sign of child maltreatment and warrants further investigation. The guardian wanting to accompany the child is typical parental behavior. A fall from a swing is a plausible explanation, though it should be verified. Crying due to pain is expected with a fracture and not indicative of maltreatment.
