You are the nurse assessing an 18-year-old woman. You note bruising to the patient's upper arm that appears as fingerprints as well as yellow bruising to the lower eye. The patient makes minimal eye contact during the assessment. How might you best inquire about the bruising?
A)  “Is anyone physically hurting you?”

A - Few patients will discuss the topic of abuse unless they are directly asked. Therefore, it is important to ask direct questions, such as, “Is anyone physically hurting you?” The other options are incorrect because they are not the best way to illicit information about possible abuse.
