A patient recovering from a motor vehicle accident asks the nurse why he has so many injuries since the other car “barely” hit him. With which of the following should the nurse respond to the patient?
1. “The car that hit you transferred a large amount of energy to your body causing injuries.”
2. “You have other health problems that make the injuries worse.”
3. “The driver of the other car intended to hit you.”
4. “Since you are older, your injuries will be worse.”

1 -- The nurse needs to respond with a statement that explains the transfer of energy to the patient’s body causing injuries. The response that addresses the patient’s other health problems and age would not explain the transfer of energy but rather identifies characteristics of the host. The response that the driver of the other car intended to injure the patient addresses the intention of the trauma and not the transfer of energy.
