Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an older adult client who was brought to the emergency department by his adult son, who reports that the client fell at home. The nurse suspect's elder abuse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ask the client's son to go to the waiting area. This action is crucial to ensure the client's safety and enable open communication without the potential abuser present. By separating the son from the client, the nurse can assess the situation independently and gather information without intimidation or interference. It also provides the client with a safe space to disclose any abuse.
Summary of other choices:
B: Filing an incident report is important but not the immediate priority in suspected elder abuse.
C: Treating and discharging the client without addressing the suspected abuse could lead to further harm.
D: Asking the client about his injuries with the son present may not elicit truthful responses due to fear or coercion.
