Reason: This is incorrect because confronting the parents with the suspicion of abuse may put the child at further risk of harm or retaliation. The nurse should not disclose the suspicion to anyone who is not authorized or involved in the investigation.

Reason: This is incorrect because reporting the suspicion to the nurse manager and documenting the findings in the child's chart are not sufficient actions to fulfill the legal obligation of the nurse. The nurse manager may not have the authority or responsibility to report or investigate the case, and documenting the findings does not ensure that the child will receive protection or intervention.

Reason: This is incorrect because reporting the suspicion to the social worker and asking for a referral to a child protection service are not immediate or direct actions to fulfill the legal obligation of the nurse. The social worker may not be available or qualified to handle the case, and asking for a referral does not guarantee that the report will be made or followed up.

Reason: This is incorrect because telling the child that they don't have to be afraid of the nurse may not be effective in reducing their fear or anxiety. The child may not trust the nurse or feel comfortable with them, especially if they have been threatened or manipulated by the abuser. The nurse should instead try to establish rapport and trust with the child, by using a calm and gentle tone of voice, maintaining eye contact, using open-ended questions, and validating the child's feelings.

Reason: This is incorrect because telling the child that they did the right thing by telling someone what happened to them may not be appropriate at this stage of the interview. The child may not have disclosed the abuse yet, or may have been coerced or pressured to do so by someone else. The nurse should instead encourage the child to share their story at their own pace, and reassure them that they are safe and supported.

Reason: This is incorrect because telling the child that they have to tell everything that happened to them and that it's very important may put pressure on the child and make them feel overwhelmed or defensive. The child may not be ready or willing to disclose the details of the abuse, or may fear the consequences of doing so, such as retaliation from the abuser, disbelief from others, or legal involvement. The nurse should instead respect the child's autonomy and privacy, and avoid forcing or rushing them to talk.

Reason: This is incorrect because an abusive partner is not someone who loves their partner too much or wants to protect them from others. This is a common misconception that romanticizes abuse and excuses it as a sign of passion or devotion. An abusive partner does not love their partner, but rather uses them as an object of their own gratification or domination. An abusive partner does not protect their partner from others, but rather isolates them from their family, friends, or other sources of support or help.

Reason: This is incorrect because an abusive partner is not someone who respects their partner's opinions and decisions, even if they disagree with them. This is a characteristic of a healthy and respectful relationship, where both partners value each other's individuality and autonomy, and communicate openly and honestly about their differences. An abusive partner does not respect their partner's opinions and decisions, but rather criticizes, belittles, or ignores them, and tries to impose their own views or preferences on them.

Reason: This is incorrect because an abusive partner is not someone who supports their partner's goals and interests, even if they are different from theirs. This is a characteristic of a healthy and supportive relationship, where both partners encourage and celebrate each other's achievements and aspirations. An abusive partner does not support their partner's goals and interests, but rather discourages, sabotages, or interferes with them, and tries to make their partner dependent on them.
