A nurse is discussing risk factors for child maltreatment with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following examples should the nurse include?

A. An only child: Being an only child is not a recognized risk factor for child maltreatment. Risk is more closely linked to caregiver stress, child disability, or environmental and familial factors rather than birth order or sibling status. B. A child who was conceived by in vitro fertilization: Conception method does not increase the likelihood of abuse or neglect. Maltreatment risk is unrelated to how a child is conceived. C. A school-age child who has cerebral palsy: Children with physical or developmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, are at higher risk for maltreatment due to increased caregiver burden, dependency, and medical complexity. Awareness of this risk is important for monitoring and protective interventions. D. A toddler who has atopic dermatitis: Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic skin condition but is not associated with increased risk of abuse or neglect. While chronic illness may require care, it does not inherently increase vulnerability to maltreatment.
