A 6 month old is brought to the ER by her babysitter. The babysitter explains that the child has been irritable all morning and will not bear weight on her right leg since she was dropped off at 8 a.m.
 
  The babysitter has attempted to contact the mother, but has not been able to reach her. After the examination, the child is diagnosed with spiral femur fracture. The nurse will need to contact Social Services because: 1. Any time a child enters the ER, Social Services needs to be contacted.
   2. The mother did not bring the child in, and the babysitter does not have medical power of attorney, so a social worker will determine the needs of the child.
   3. A femur fracture is abnormal unless trauma or abuse has occurred. Social Services will help to rule out child abuse.
   4. The social worker will be of no help until the mother asks for services.
