Question 1 of 5
Several children are seen in the ER for treatment of illnesses and injuries daily. The situation that would cause the nurse to have a high suspicion of child abuse would be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: several visits of the same child with varied injuries. This scenario raises suspicion of child abuse because multiple visits with different injuries could indicate a pattern of abuse. Each injury may have a plausible explanation, but when they occur repeatedly in the same child, it suggests a deeper issue. The pattern of varied injuries is concerning as it indicates that the child may be experiencing intentional harm or neglect. This pattern warrants further investigation by the nurse and potentially involves child protection services.
Incorrect choices:
A: a 1-year-old child who has a dislocated shoulder from arm swinging - This could be an accidental injury and may not necessarily indicate abuse.
C: a 5-year-old child who broke his arm and clings to mother crying - This could be a common reaction to a painful injury and does not necessarily indicate abuse.
D: repeated visits of the same child with middle ear infections - Middle ear infections are common in children and do not raise suspicion of abuse.
