The correct answer is choice d. Privately interview the client about the injuries.

Choice A rationale:

Contacting the family regarding the client’s condition might not be appropriate if the family is suspected of being involved in the abuse. It could potentially put the client at further risk.

Choice B rationale:

Notifying risk management is important for documentation and internal review, but it does not directly address the immediate need to assess and ensure the client’s safety.

Choice C rationale:

Informing the transferring agency of the client’s condition is necessary for continuity of care, but it does not address the immediate need to investigate the cause of the injuries and ensure the client’s safety.

Choice D rationale:

Privately interviewing the client about the injuries allows the nurse to gather more information about the cause of the injuries in a safe and confidential manner. This step is crucial in assessing the situation and determining if further action, such as reporting to authorities, is needed. It ensures the client’s safety and helps in identifying any potential abuse.
