Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Obtaining the victim's explanation is necessary. If the explanation does not match the injuries or if the victim minimizes the injuries, abuse should be suspected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The child has indicated a belief in being too dumb to learn. The child receives frequent negative and demeaning feedback from the parents. Deficient knowledge is a nursing diagnosis that refers to knowledge of health care measures. Disturbed personal identity refers to an alteration in the ability to distinguish between self and nonself. Grieving may apply, but a specific loss is not evident in this scenario. Low self-esteem is more relevant to the child's statements.
