Question 2
A 24-year-old mother of a 2-month-old infant comes to the clinic for a follow-up appointment.
When the nurse asks about old bruises in the mother's breast and abdominal area, the client admits that these injuries were the result of her husband forcing himself on her sexually shortly after the birth of their baby, but that this happened only once. The mother's history reveals that she experienced domestic violence two years before when she was in a relationship with another man. She tells the nurse that, Although it has been two years, I feel as though the incident happened yesterday. Which of the following is the most appropriate response? A) That incident happened two years ago and involved an individual other than your husband. It doesn't
mean that it will happen again; your husband was probably just excited that you were back home.
B) This is a long process and it will take some time to fully get over those feelings. Having unwanted sex just
recently certainly contributes significantly to those feelings.
C) Can you tell me what causes you to feel this way?
D) Have you thought of any ways that can help you get past those feelings, and to say no when you don't
want to do something others ask you to do?
