Practice Question

A nurse in an emergency department (ED) is assessing a preschooler who has a fractured arm. For which of the following should the nurse further investigate as a warning sign of child maltreatment?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

The child was brought to the ED 2 days after the injury occurred.

Rationale:

⫸ Delayed presentation to care is a red flag for possible child maltreatment, as it may indicate intentional neglect or cover-up.

⫸ Inconsistent timing, especially with significant injuries like a fracture, is not typical of concerned caregivers.

⫸ The nurse should further investigate the context and observe for patterns or signs of abuse.

⫸ Mandatory reporting is required if suspicion of abuse arises, regardless of caregiver intent.
