A nurse visits the home of an 11-year-old child and finds the child caring for three younger siblings. Both parents are at work. The child says, I want to go to school but we can't afford a babysitter. It doesn't matter though; I'm too dumb to learn.
 
  What preliminary assessment is evident?
 
  a. Insufficient data are present to make an assessment.
  b. Child and siblings are experiencing neglect.
  c. Children are at high risk for sexual abuse.
  d. Children are experiencing physical abuse.

Question 2

After completing the contracted number of visits to the crisis clinic, an adult says, I've emerged from this as a stronger person. You supported me while I worked through my feelings of loss and helped me find community resources.
 
  I'm benefiting from a support group. The nurse can evaluate the patient's feelings about the care received as:
 
  a. not at all satisfied
  b. somewhat satisfied
  c. moderately satisfied
  d. very satisfied

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The child is experiencing neglect when the parents take away the opportunity to attend school. The other children may also be experiencing physical neglect, but more data should be gathered before making the actual assessment. The information presented does not indicate a high risk for sexual abuse, and no concrete evidence of physical abuse is present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient mentions a number of indicators that suggest a high degree of satisfaction with the Nursing Outcomes Classification of patient satisfaction: psychologic care. No indicators express low-to-moderate satisfaction.
