1. Distant
2. Authoritarian
3. Nonjudgmental
4. Judgmental
Correct Answer: 3
The nurse should convey a nonjudgmental manner. The nurse should avoid blaming the victim or the abuser, or looking for pathological elements in anyone's behavior. It is vital not to impose personal values on the family by offering quick and easy solutions to intrafamily violence. The nurse should not be distant or authoritarian when working with victims of abuse.
