    The practical nurse (PN) is assisting with data collection for clients who have been admitted to the emergency department. What clients should the PN report to the nurse for further intervention for possible family violence? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A broken arm from a volleyball game is an injury that is not necessarily indicative of family violence; it appears to be an accident. B. Multiple old fractures in a young child may indicate possible abuse or family violence, as this pattern is concerning for potential neglect or physical harm. C. Multiple bruises on the hands and face of a married man may suggest a pattern of domestic violence, which should be reported for further assessment. D. Soiled clothing and foul body odor may indicate poor living conditions but are not specific indicators of family violence. E. A skull fracture from an automobile collision is likely an accident, not necessarily indicative of family violence unless further evidence suggests abuse.
