A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a school-age child who was admitted for suspected physical maltreatment. Which of the following findings in the child's medical history should the nurse identify as a potential risk factor for physical maltreatment?

A. Being adopted can contribute to various emotional and social challenges for a child, but it is not a direct risk factor for physical maltreatment. B. Prematurity is identified as a potential risk factor for physical maltreatment. Premature infants may have developmental delays or health issues that can increase stress on caregivers, potentially leading to maltreatment. C. Myopia does not pose a risk factor for physical maltreatment; it is a common vision issue that does not correlate with maltreatment. D. Acute otitis media is a common childhood illness and is not associated with an increased risk of physical maltreatment. It may cause discomfort and frustration but does not directly relate to the potential for maltreatment.
