Which of the following situations should the nurse explore for possible emotional abuse of the child by the caregiver?

  B) The caregiver of a 16-year-old reports, I couldn't believe when I got home from work last night, dinner wasn't ready. Jack knew it was his turn to cook.
  C) The caregiver of a 12-year-old reports, I'm sorry we missed Jamal's appointment last week but he was supposed to remind me to come.
  D) The caregiver of a 15-year-old reports, Laia promised to earn the money to care for the dog if we got him, but she keeps turning down baby-sitting jobs to go out with her friends, and I have to add dog food to my already impossible budget.
