Risk for injury is the priority diagnosis because the partner has already inflicted physical injury during violent episodes.The episodes are likely to become increasingly violent.Data are not present that show social isolation or disabled family coping,although both are common among victims of violence.Deficient knowledge does not apply to this patient's use of defense mechanisms.
