    A nurse in a well-child clinic is collecting data from four clients. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider as a potential indication of child maltreatment?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Biting behavior in a 15-month-old child is developmentally appropriate and not indicative of child maltreatment. Choice B reason: Correct. A fracture resulting from a bicycle injury may raise concerns about the child's safety and supervision, and it should be reported for further evaluation. Choice C reason: A history of frequent urinary tract infections is a medical concern but does not necessarily indicate child maltreatment. Choice D reason: Small bruises on the shins are common in toddlers and are typically the result of normal play and exploration. They are not necessarily indicative of child maltreatment.
