While making a home visit, the nurse suspects that a child is experiencing psychological maltreatment. What did the nurse observe in the home?

B) Belittling the child in front of the nurse and other siblings
C) Punishing one child for crossing the street without assistance
D) Asking one child to perform a song on the piano for the nurse
B
Feedback:
Psychological maltreatment includes constant belittling a child. Children who are psychologically maltreated this way are likely to have difficulty becoming emotionally confident adults. This type of maltreatment is the most difficult form of maltreatment to detect because it may occur only in the home. Scolding for using matches, punishment for crossing the street without assistance, and asking to perform a song on the piano are not observations that support psychological maltreatment.
