Which approach would be most appropriate when counseling a client who is a suspected victim of intimate partner violence?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Ask, "Have you ever been physically hurt by your partner?"
Rationale:
✳️ The most appropriate approach to suspected intimate partner violence (IPV) is to directly and privately ask open-ended but specific questions.
✳️ Using a nonjudgmental and empathetic tone, the nurse helps build trust and creates an opportunity for disclosure.

✳️ Nurses are legally and ethically obligated to screen and document IPV cases, while also offering support resources.
✳️ Delaying questioning or offering pamphlets without conversation may fail to address immediate safety concerns.
