A 24-year-old mother of a 2-month-old infant comes to the clinic for a follow-up appointment
When the nurse asks about old bruises in the mother's breast and abdominal area, the client admits that these injuries were the result of her husband forcing himself on her sexually shortly after the birth of their baby, but that this happened only once. The mother's history reveals that she experienced domestic violence two years before when she was in a relationship with another man. She tells the nurse that, "Although it has been two years, I feel as though the incident happened yesterday." Which of the following is the most appropriate response? A) "That incident happened two years ago and involved an individual other than your husband.
