Question 2
The nurse is interviewing a client that has admitted to being a victim of spousal abuse. Which of the following is the most typical description of how the spousal violence developed in her relationship?
A. He changed overnight. Everything was fine, and all of a sudden he flipped out and beat me up; he nearly killed me.
B. It was severe from the beginning. As soon as we got married, he began hitting me and threatening to kill me.
C. We've both always dated other people. I thought that was understood. He was as emotionally abusive in the beginning as he is now.
