Question

Which is likely the most important criterion on which to base the decision to report suspected child abuse? a. Conflicting parental concern for the degree of injury b. Absence of parents for questioning about child's injuries c. Inappropriate response of child d. Incompatibility between the history stated and injury observed

Answer 1

d. Incompatibility between the history stated and injury observed

Step-by-step explanation:

When the parents or the child tell a story about how the injuries on the child happened, but the story is incongruent with the actual injuries, the listeners should become very suspicious and report child abuse to the authorities.

This is because if the story does not coincide with the injuries, either the parents are lying, or the child is telling the lies that he was told by his or her parents.
