A nurse in an emergency department often sees victims of intimate partner violence. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when caring for victims of violence?

A. Provide the client with strategies for interacting with others in social situations: This is not directly related to addressing intimate partner violence and does not prioritize safety or support. B. Provide the client with information on resources in the community to support victims of violence. Offering resources empowers clients to make informed decisions and provides them with the support they may need to address their situation. C. Tell the client ways to avoid making their partner angry to prevent intimate partner violence: This response implies victim-blaming and is inappropriate. The responsibility for violence lies with the perpetrator, not the victim. D. The nurse instructs the client on ways to behave to prevent making their partner angry: Like the previous option, this implies victim-blaming and is not supportive or empowering for the client.
