Question
A 4-year old child is brought by her grandmother in the emergency room due to
fever, chills, and difficulty walking. The nurse tries to remove the excessive
clothing of the child but is reluctant. After a thorough assessment, the nurse also
noted bruises around the genital area. Which of the following interventions
should the nurse do first?

avoidance to remove clothing, insist on wearing multiple garments,
difficulty walking or sitting due to genital or anal pain, and signs of sexually
transmitted infections.
 Options A and D: Documenting and collecting evidence is an important
aspect of a suspected child sexual abuse but is not the first action.
 Option B: It is the responsibility of the nurse to protect the welfare of the
child.
