Question

question 8 of 10
when identifying physical abuse, you should consider ----------.
choose an option below
if the parents say everything is okay, then it is probably okay
instances of a child reportedly injuring themself
even if the child plays sports and has injuries its likely they are being abused
if the child has never reported anything, then they are likely fine

Explanation:

When identifying physical abuse, self-reported self-injury in a child is a relevant factor to consider, as it can be a sign of underlying distress or abuse-related behavior. The other options are incorrect: parental reassurance does not rule out abuse, sports-related injuries are not inherently indicative of abuse, and a child not reporting abuse does not mean they are not being abused (children may be fearful or unable to disclose).

Answer:

B. instances of a child reportedly injuring themself
