NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is assessing a client during a routine check-up. The client appears anxious and withdrawn and has several unexplained bruises on their upper arms and shoulders. When asked how they got the bruises, the client hesitates and offers an inconsistent explanation. What is the nurse's most appropriate next step?

  • Report the findings to the appropriate authorities in accordance with the facility's policy.

  • Ask the client additional detailed questions to clarify the cause of the injuries.

  • Wait for the client to voluntarily disclose more information before taking further action.

  • Document the findings and assess the client during the next visit to gather more information.
