Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a pediatric unit is assisting with providing care for multiple children. Which of the following physical findings and parental reports should cause the nurse to suspect child maltreatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spiral fractures in toddlers are concerning for abuse, as they often result from twisting forces not typical in a fall from a swing. Bruises on shins, head injuries from biking, and a black eye from a fight are more consistent with common childhood injuries.
