A 3-year-old was brought to the hospital with a broken humerus and upper arm bruising. The fa-ther states that he is a truck worker and that the child is obstinate and refuses to be quiet while he sleeps.
 
  He states that he shook the child while disciplining him to teach him to be quiet. An appropriate family-related nursing diagnosis is:
  1. Anxiety related to physical abuse
  2. Impaired parenting related to unrealistic expectations for child
  3. Risk for impaired parenting related to harsh disciplinary methods
  4. Powerlessness related to inability to keep child quiet

Question 2

A teenage boy has been periodically beaten by his father. The boy tells the nurse, He'll pay for this one way or another. The nurse treating his contusions should assess for behaviors suggest-ing:
 
  1. Antisocial tendencies
  2. Depression
  3. Regression
  4. Withdrawal

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
This diagnosis is supported by data in the scenario. 1. No data support this diagnosis. 3. Violence has occurred, so a risk diagnosis is not appropriate. 4. This diagnosis is not supported by data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Research suggests that children who are abused are at high risk for antisocial behavior for a peri-od of at least 2 years after the battering incident. The boy's remark is not consistent with any of the other options.
