Domestic Violence Assessment Study
Questions and Correct Answers
As a mandatory reporter of elder abuse, which of the following must be present before a
nurse notifies the authorities?
1.Statements from the victim
2.Statements from witnesses
3.Proof of abuse and/or neglect
4.Suspicion of elder abuse and/or neglect ✅ANS: 4
Many health care workers are under the erroneous assumption that proof is required
before notification of suspected abuse can occur. Only a suspicion of elder abuse
and/or neglect is necessary.
During a home visit, the nurse notes that an elderly woman is caring for her bedridden
husband. The woman states that this is her duty and that she does the best she can
and her children come to help when they are in town. Her husband is unable to care for
himself, and she appears thin, weak, and exhausted. The nurse notices that several of
his prescription medication bottles are empty. This situation is best described by the
term:
1.physical abuse.
2.financial neglect.
3.psychological abuse.
4.unintentional neglect. ✅ANS: 4
Unintentional physical neglect is failure of the family member and/or caregiver to
provide basic goods and/or services.

which situation?
1.When IPV is suspected
2.When a woman has an unexplained injury
3.As a routine part of each health care encounter
4.When there is a known history of abuse in the family ✅ANS: 3
Many nursing professional organizations have called for routine, universal screening for
IPV to assist women in getting help for the problem.
Which statement is best for the nurse to use when preparing to administer the Abuse
Assessment Screen?
1."We are required by law to ask these questions."
2."We need to talk about whether you feel you have been abused."

society." ✅ANS: 4
