Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: The nurse who calls the DSS to report the patch as a sign of abuse will reveal ignorance of biologic differences and possibly provoke the family to file charges of harassment.
Rationale 2: The nurse who confers with the physician about the patch will reveal ignorance of biologic differences in culturally competent assessments.
Rationale 3: Asking the mother about the cause of the bruise reveals the nurse's ignorance of biologic differences and cultural insensitivity.
Rationale 4: The nurse will chart the presence of a Mongolian spot, which is observed in races with dark skin tones.
