Exhibits A woman is slowly walking into the ED with her head down and whispers her name at the desk to the nurse. You type her name in and see her Past Medical History and quickly and slowly at the same time, walk close but at a safe distance to the nearest trauma room with her as she says her name is Jane. You pull the curtain and ask her to sit on the bed. Which questions below are appropriate to ask Patient Jane? Select all that apply.
Explanation & Rationale
A. Why don't you leave? This question can come across as judgmental and may make Jane feel defensive or unsupported. B. Is there a safe place to go if you need to? Asking about a safe place respects her autonomy and helps assess her safety plan. C. Do you have children, and are they safe? Ensures the welfare of potential dependents who may also be at risk. D. Are you concerned about your safety? Allows Jane to express concerns about her current situation without feeling pressured. E. You can get help; we can hide you! Offering to "hide" someone could create unrealistic expectations and might compromise her safety. F. Who is hurting you? This is enough now! This confrontational approach may escalate Jane’s fear and deter her from sharing information. G. Please stop the madness. This is dismissive and lacks empathy, making it highly inappropriate in a trauma-informed care approach.
