Her son seems to be hostile toward you and your partner and nervously attempts to explain each bruise. In this case you should do all of the following EXCEPT:
 
  a. obtain a complete patient and family history.
  b. report suspicions of elder abuse to the emergency department staff.
  c. be honest and open with the patient's son about your concerns.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
