NCLEX Question of the Day
Psychosocial Integrity QID 280
A nurse is assessing a client who is at risk for domestic violence. Which question is most appropriate to ask the client to evaluate the risk in their relationship?
Explanation
When assessing for domestic violence, it's important to ask direct, nonjudgmental questions that focus on the client's safety. Asking if the client is afraid of their partner or worried about their safety can help the nurse gauge the immediate risk and plan for safety. The other questions place blame on the client, suggest a plan of action that the client may not be ready for, or could make the client feel defensive and less likely to disclose abuse.
