Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The abuse or neglect simply needs to be suspected in order for the nurse to report. In most states, the nurse can receive a jail sentence and a fine for not reporting suspected abuse. Reporters may never witness the actual abusive event, but they can often see the resulting damage. Each nurse follows through with reporting abuse and neglect cases she or he suspects according to the community's laws.
