Answer 1

The nurse assesses for all types of abuse when providing care to a client who experiences intimate partner violence (IPV).

Therefore, Option E is correct

Physical abuse includes any intentional use of force or violence to injure or control the victim, such as hitting, kicking, choking, or pushing. Emotional or psychological abuse can involve manipulating, intimidating, or isolating the victim through behaviors like verbal threats, insults, humiliation, or controlling their social interactions.

Financial or economic abuse also involves controlling the victim's finances, denying them access to money, or using their resources without their consent. Neglect might come in the form of failing to provide for the basic needs of the victim, like food, shelter, or medical care. Sexual abuse is any forced sexual contact or activity, including unwanted touching, groping, or intercourse.
