A nurse is examining a 75-year-old woman and finds evidence of ongoing physical abuse. Upon asking, the woman reveals that her 75-year-old husband hits her on occasion. The woman asks the nurse not to disclose this information to the police.
 
  The nurse understands that: a. in any case of abuse, the nurse is required to disclose the information to the police, regardless of the client's wishes
  b. the nurse is free to use her own judgment as to whether or not she should inform the police
  c. because this is a case of elderly abuse, the nurse is required to disclose the information to the police regardless of the client's wishes
  d. because the abuser is the client's husband, it is not considered a case of elderly abuse; therefore the nurse cannot disclose the information to the police against the client's wishes
