A new client admits to having been battered by her live-in boyfriend several times over the past 2 years. She states to the nurse, We plan to get married next June, and I think things will be better then.
 
  He is always so sorry afterward, that I think I can trust him to change. Which intervention should be included in the client's teaching plan?
  1. Support her hope that the battering will end after they are married.
  2. Assist her to enroll in a class to learn techniques of self-defense.
  3. Emphasize that the battering pattern usually remains the same in frequency and severity over time.
  4. Assist her in developing an emergency plan, since the pattern of violence is likely to continue.

Question 2

A client, age 70, was brought into the Emergency Department by family members who reported a fall. During the assessment the nurse became suspicious that the client had suffered physical abuse.
 
  The client denied that she had been abused. Her denial is most likely based on her:
  1. Strong belief that nothing could be done to help her
  2. Fear of the possibility of being removed from her family
  3. Feeling that she deserved the physical abuse
  4. Lack of trust that the situation could be changed

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Developing an emergency plan is critical for any battered woman. 1. The battering is not likely to cease unless the batterer seeks help. 2. This will not stop the violence, although it might afford her some protection. 3. Violence usually increases over time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Fear of being separated from family and institutionalized is a powerful motive that keeps elders from revealing abuse. The other options may be factors in some cases, but they are not primary motivators of silence.
