A woman is admitted to the healthcare facility after being abused by her partner. What nursing intervention is highest priority for this client?
A) Suggest that the client separate from her partner
B) Encourage the client to reflect on why the abuse occurred
C) Offer the client referrals to local shelters
D) Suggest that the client spend more time with her partner
C
Feedback:
The nurse should offer the client referrals to local shelters for abused women. Suggesting that the client separate from her partner, encouraging the client to reflect on why the abuse occurred, or suggesting that the client spend more time with her partner are not appropriate nursing interventions; these may pose a greater risk of abuse for the client.
