Answer to Question 1
A
Children who witness IPV have indirect injuries such as poor health, behavior problems, school problems, and social problems.
IPV is associated with increased numbers of child abuse, but predicting that one of the patient's children will get hurt is extremely insensitive and not helpful.
Some children do get hurt intervening in a situation of IPV, but this statement is inaccurate, because it implies large numbers of them are injured.
Agreeing with the patient that she is lucky does nothing to help. The nurse needs to educate the patient on the harmful effects of IPV on her children.

Whereas healthy, middle-income people often pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits, the less affluent usually pay less than the value of the health care services they receive.
Government activities have the ultimate accountability: the vote.
Many people argue that taxes should not be used for anything other than running the government, but this does not get at the equity debate. In fact, if the government were not somehow involved in health care financing, there would be less equity because many individuals would have no way of paying for needed health care.
Social security taxes are not deductible, but this affects everyone equally.
