Which of the following measures should nurses implement in a hospital setting in order to identify intimate partner violence (IPV)?
A) Routine screening of newly admitted clients
B) Focused physical assessment for IPV for all new clients
C) Involvement of a social worker in the admission assessment of all new female clients
D) Review of the definition and legal repercussions of IPV with all new female clients
Ans: A
Practices related to the identification of IPV vary, but it is generally agreed that a simple screening tool can be an effective strategy. A focused physical assessment and the involvement of social work are not warranted for all clients. A review of the definition and repercussions of IPV is likely not as effective as a simple and direct screening tool.
