44) at a prenatal visit, a primigravida client confides to the nurse that her partner is abusive which information should the nurse provide? a) visit summary documenting the report of abuse b) paperwork needed to file a restraining order c) safety plan to keep in a purse at all times d) contact information for a women’s shelter
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
When a client reports partner - abuse during a prenatal visit, the immediate priority is to ensure her safety. A safety plan that can be carried in a purse at all times is a practical and immediate step to help the client in case of an emergency. While documentation (A) is important, it's not the first - line information to provide. Filing a restraining order (B) is a more complex legal step and not the most immediate need. Contact information for a women's shelter (D) is also important but a safety plan is more immediate and personal for the client to have on hand at all times.
# Answer:
C. Safety plan to keep in a purse at all times
