Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to assess intimate partner safety?

Choice A reason: Asking if the client feels pressured to do things they do not want to do helps identify coercion or abuse. This is a direct way to assess safety and autonomy in the relationship. Choice B reason: Fear of a previous partner can indicate ongoing threats, stalking, or unresolved trauma. This question helps assess risk of continued abuse even after the relationship has ended. Choice C reason: Asking if the client feels safe in their relationship is a broad but essential screening question. It allows the client to express concerns about current safety and potential abuse. Choice D reason: Asking about a caretaker threatening harm is more relevant to elder abuse or dependent care situations rather than intimate partner violence. While important in other contexts, it does not directly assess intimate partner safety.
