Practice Question
A nurse is collecting data from a client who experienced physical abuse as a child. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a risk factor for the client to become a perpetrator of child abuse?.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Low tolerance for frustration.
Rationale:
🔷 Low frustration tolerance is a significant risk factor for becoming a perpetrator of child abuse because it increases the likelihood of impulsive and aggressive responses to stress.
🔷 Individuals with this trait may have poor coping mechanisms and difficulty managing anger, especially under parenting stress.
🔷 A history of childhood physical abuse can contribute to learned patterns of aggression and poor emotional regulation, further increasing abuse risk.
🔷 Early interventions focusing on anger management, stress reduction, and parenting education can reduce the cycle of abuse.
