A patient tells the nurse, "I don't want to go home. I'm afraid my spouse will hurt me again." What is the nurse's best response?
1. Invite the abuser to the assessment session.
2. Avoid pressuring the patient to leave the abuser.
3. Acknowledge the patient's inability to change the situation.
4. Ensure not to ask direct questions about abuse, as this will intimidate the patient.
