Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting a child maltreatment screening of a family who has a toddler. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indicator of possible child neglect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The child has had no immunization since birth. This is indicative of possible child neglect because it suggests that the parents have not provided essential healthcare for the child, putting their health and well-being at risk. Failure to immunize can lead to serious preventable diseases and indicates a lack of proper care and attention from the parents.
A: The child has a history of jaw fractures - This is more indicative of physical abuse rather than neglect.
B: The child seems frightened of their parent - While this could be a red flag for possible abuse, it is not specific to neglect.
D: The child rocks back and forth continually - This behavior may indicate a developmental or psychological issue, but it is not directly related to neglect.
