Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: Whenever a patient denies injury, the nurse should suspect abuse.
Rationale 2: Often, injuries are not supported by the story the patient tells.
Rationale 3: Patients experiencing abuse often do not make eye contact.
Rationale 4: The abuser often dominates the conversation when with the victim.
Rationale 5: If a patient has injuries sustained from abuse, she will often delay or change appointments until the injuries resolve.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Nurses and medical personnel need to be alert to symptoms of battering, recognize these cues, and encourage women to seek assistance from community agencies. The most innovative and effective domestic violence programs in hospitals and urgent care facilities work collaboratively with domestic violence service agencies, develop a comprehensive community referral network, and work with multidisciplinary intervention teams.
