Ch.7 Domestic & Family Violence Quiz
Questions and Correct Answers
The child has been frequently hospitalized with either an injury or an infection and is
currently showing signs of malnutrition. Which type of abuse would the nurse report that
the patient is experiencing? ✅Neglect
A child who is neglected by caregivers may have malnutrition and is prone to frequent
injuries and infection resulting from a lack of medical care. Parents who neglect their
child fail to provide their child the basic needs, including physical, educational, medical,
and emotional. Physical abuse involves physical injury caused by punching, beating,
kicking, biting, burning, or shaking. Sexual abuse includes fondling a child's genitals,
incest, penetration, rape, sodomy, and human trafficking. A child who is emotionally
abused is usually withdrawn as a result of impaired emotional development but may not
have any physical injury or infection.
Which mechanism of injury would describe a sock burn on an abused child?
✅Patterned injury
Immersion burns to the feet, sock burns, are termed "patterned injury." An incision is
caused when a sharp object is used to injure (cut) the patient. When blunt injuries cause
skin tearing, it is called a laceration. Bruises and fractures in various stages of healing
are termed "pattern of injuries."
Which action would the nurse perform for a child who has been abused? ✅Inform the
legal authorities.
Legal authorities are informed any time suspected abuse occurs in a child. The nurse is
a mandatory reporter for child abuse. In all cases, it is important to interview the victim
separately from the potential perpetrator. The nurse does not need to prove the abuse
to file a report. Although stress-related problems may be an issue, asking a child about
these types of problems is ineffective. The child will not understand stress-related
problems.
Which measure would the nurse take while collecting a history from an abused 7-year-
old with a hand injury? ✅Use simple language
Using simple, age-appropriate language can help enrich the history taking from a child.
The nurse would obtain the history directly from the child because a 7-year-old can
communicate verbally. The questions would be short so that the child understands the
questions easily. The child cannot understand scientific terms. Therefore the nurse
would avoid using medical jargon. Closed questions require a "yes" or "no" response,
and open-ended questions require answering in the form of a sentence or paragraph.
