Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the patient's physical symptoms and avoidance of eye contact, it may be appropriate for the nurse to inquire about the possibility of abuse. Asking if someone is hurting the patient directly addresses this concern and may lead to further exploration and support for the patient. Option A is too broad and may not address the underlying concern. Option B is too vague and does not provide enough information. Option D may not be relevant to the patient's current symptoms.
