ANS: D
Nurses must advocate for the client's right to nonabusive treatment. Reporting to a protection and
advocacy agency is the ethical duty of the nurse. Options A and B do nothing to investigate and
resolve the situation. Option C: The investigation is best conducted by skilled professionals trained
to investigate such allegations.
