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 necessary to ensure the client's safety and privacy during the assessment for potential elder abuse. Having the son leave the room allows the nurse to establish a trusting and confidential environment to gather information from the client without any potential influence or intimidation from the son. This step is crucial in identifying and addressing any signs of elder abuse.
Other choices are incorrect because:
B: Filing an incident report should come after a thorough assessment and investigation of the situation.
C: Treating and discharging the client without addressing potential elder abuse would neglect the client's safety.
D: Asking the client about his injuries with the son present may not allow the client to speak freely due to fear or pressure.
