C
Feedback:
The nurse should ask the client who was physically abused to meet the ombudsperson assigned to the facility. The ombudsperson is responsible for seeing that the client's rights are not violated. Referring the client to the nursing director, the case manager, or social services will not protect the client by law from abuse or neglect.
