Which statements by the patient indicate the patient may be experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV)? Select all that apply

1. "My partner uses our children as messengers."
2. "My partner humiliates me in front of our friends."
3. "My partner gets upset at me for spending too much money."
4. "My partner will not allow my family to visit, and I cannot visit any of my friends."
5. "My partner gives me a weekly allowance and does not allow me to access our bank account."


Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Explanation: Most often, the behaviors associated with IPV relate to dynamics of power and control over a partner or significant other. Using the couple's children as messengers, humiliating the patient, isolating the patient, and taking away economic freedoms are all examples of IPV. A partner who is upset at the other partner for spending too much money is not exhibiting signs of IPV.
