The nurse at the clinic is interviewing a patient who offers a number of vague somatic complaints that might not ordinarily prompt a visit to a caregiver: fatigue, back pain, headaches, and sleep disturbance.
 
  The patient seems tense, and after having spoken of the symptoms, seems reluctant to provide more information and is in a hurry to leave. The nurse can best serve the patient by: a. asking if the patient has ever had psychiatric counseling.
  b. completing a structured abuse assessment protocol.
  c. exploring the possibility of patient social isolation.
  d. asking the patient to disrobe to check for signs of abuse.
