The nurse is interviewing a client who has admitted to being a victim of domestic violence. What is the most typical description of how the domestic violence developed in a relationship?

1. He changed overnight. Everything was fine, and all of a sudden he flipped out and beat me up; he nearly killed me.
2. It was severe from the beginning. As soon as we got married, he began hitting me and threatening to kill me.
3. We've both always dated other people. I thought that was understood. He was as emotionally abusive in the beginning as he is now.
4. I don't know when it started, really. It was gradual. First, just yelling, blaming, and shoving. Then the beatings started; and now they're more frequent.
