The abuse questionnaire should be given to
a. women who have frequent emergency de-partment visits
b. women who show signs of battering
c. teens and unwed mothers
d. all women who enter the health care system
D
Because women are the most likely victims of abuse, all women who enter the health care system should be assessed for abuse. Only giving the abuse questionnaires to women who have frequent emergency department visits is not an appropriate criterion. Women who show signs of battering, teens, and unwed mothers definitely should be assessed, but the questionnaire should be given to all women and not just these women.
