Question 1 of 5
Which questions below are appropriate to ask Patient Jane? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: Why don't you leave? This question can come across as judgmental and may make Jane feel defensive or unsupported. B. Is there a safe place to go if you need to? Asking about a safe place respects her autonomy and helps assess her safety plan. C. Do you have children, and are they safe? Ensures the welfare of potential dependents who may also be at risk. D. Are you concerned about your safety? Allows Jane to express concerns about her current situation without feeling pressured. E. You can get help; we can hide you! Offering to 'hide' someone could create unrealistic expectations and might compromise her safety. F. Who is hurting you? This is enough now! This confrontational approach may escalate Jane's fear and deter her from sharing information. G. Please stop the madness. This is dismissive and lacks empathy, making it highly inappropriate in a trauma-informed care approach.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has reported experiencing abuse at home. Which of the following actions should be a priority for the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assess for risk of immediate harm to patient or children: The priority is to ensure the immediate safety of the client and any children involved. If there is a risk of harm, emergency services or protective measures must be initiated. Implement the safety plan: Implementing the safety plan is important but secondary to assessing the immediate risk. Without first understanding the level of danger, the safety plan might not address urgent needs. Refer the client to a community support group: This is a valuable intervention for long-term support but is not the priority in an acute situation where immediate risk must be assessed. Instruct the client on how to leave the relationship: While planning for leaving the relationship is critical, it is not the immediate priority, especially if the client or children are in danger.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is in a maternal/child unit and is caring for a new parent. The new parent expresses concern about their safety in the home. The nurse provides the client with an intimate partner violence crisis center number. Which of the following is a way the nurse can evaluate the client's response to the safety plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The client explains they are not planning to leave their home: This indicates denial or hesitation, which does not reflect engagement with the safety plan. The client puts the number of the crisis center into their phone. Storing the crisis center number demonstrates that the client acknowledges its importance and takes a step toward implementing the safety plan. The client thinks their home will be safer now that there is a baby in the house: This reflects false hope and lack of understanding of the risks of intimate partner violence. The client thanks the nurse for the information: While polite, this response does not indicate the client has taken action or internalized the safety plan.
