Which of the following assessment findings would be least suggestive of child abuse?

A) Consistent delays in seeking treatment for the child's injuries
B) Frequent changes in history information with visits
C) Injuries that are inconsistent with the reported traumatic event
D) Sexual behavior that correlates with child's developmental age


D
Response:
Sexual behavior that correlates with the child's developmental age would be appropriate and not an indicator of child abuse. A delay in seeking medical treatment, a history that changes over time, or a history of trauma that is inconsistent with the observed injury all suggest child abuse.
