Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 9-month-old infant. Which of the following developmental findings should the nurse expect?

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is talking privately with an adolescent who has disclosed that their facial fractures are the result of their punishment for coming home 1 hr after their curfew. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reassuring the adolescent that the abuse is not their fault supports emotional safety and trust, critical in abuse cases. Confidentiality must yield to mandatory reporting, and assumptions or judgments are unhelpful.
Question 3 of 5
