Ati Lpn Paediatrics (Nursing Care Of Newborn) Proctored Exam
A nurse in a clinic is caring for a group of infants. Which of the following findings should the nurse report as a possible indication of physical maltreatment?
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A) A hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor commonly found in infants and is not indicative of physical maltreatment. B) A burn with splash marks, especially in a patterned distribution, raises suspicion of physical abuse and should be reported immediately for further evaluation. C) A large, irregular, brownish-blue area on the infant's buttock may indicate bruising, but further assessment is needed to determine the cause. D) An abrasion on the back of the infant's arm may be due to accidental injury and does not necessarily indicate physical maltreatment, although it warrants further assessment and documentation.
