A nurse is concerned about the possibility of suicide in a teenage boy.
Which of the following characteristics has the boy most likely displayed?

Choice A rationale

Referring to a supervisor doesn’t fulfill the nurse’s legal obligation to clarify mandatory reporting requirements. It may also escalate parental frustration due to perceived evasion.

Choice B rationale

Delegating responsibility to a supervisor undermines the nurse’s accountability in adhering to legal reporting protocols. This response is insufficient to address parental concerns effectively.

Choice C rationale

Mandatory reporting laws require healthcare professionals to report suspected abuse, regardless of evidence certainty. Nurses must communicate this obligation clearly to justify their actions.

Choice D rationale

While involving the provider may aid communication, it doesn’t address the nurse’s personal accountability in fulfilling legal reporting duties or informing the parent. .

Choice A rationale

Experiences of physical abuse may contribute to psychological distress, but they are not a direct cause of disenfranchisement unless they disrupt societal integration significantly.

Choice B rationale

Disenfranchisement often stems from feeling disconnected from society. Lack of belonging and societal exclusion are critical factors affecting migrant farmworkers' ability to engage fully.

Choice C rationale

Inability to attend religious services can affect social support, yet it does not capture the broader societal disconnection characteristic of disenfranchisement.

Choice D rationale

Being a minority group member increases vulnerability to discrimination but does not inherently result in disenfranchisement unless accompanied by societal isolation or exclusion.
