A nurse is caring for a client in an acute pediatric unit. The nurse should identify that which of the following most likely puts the child at risk for exposure to violence?
A. The child's caregiver reports an abusive partner.
B. The child attends a school that is known for high success.
C. The neighborhood has stress reduction technique classes for parents at the community center.
D. The child's sibling has reported bullying at school.
Answer (2)
The chosen option is A: The child's caregiver reports an abusive partner, as this situation most directly increases the risk of exposure to violence for the child. Understanding the caregiver's circumstances is vital in assessing the child's safety. Other factors mentioned either indicate supportive environments or relate specifically to peer interactions rather than an immediate threat at home.

The child is most at risk for exposure to violence if their caregiver reports an abusive partner, as it directly links to potential violence in the home. Other factors like school success and community support do not indicate risk, while bullying relates more to peer interactions. Therefore, caregiver dynamics are critical in assessing risk for child safety. ;
