To facilitate an accurate assessment for child abuse, the nurse should interview the child and each parent separately. This allows for a more open and honest dialogue between the nurse and each family member, without fear of retribution or influence from other family members. It is important to follow the appropriate protocols and procedures for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect.
