NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is assessing a middle-aged client admitted for a wrist fracture. During the examination, the client winces when their wrist is touched and hesitates when asked how the injury occurred, providing vague and inconsistent explanations. What is the best initial action the nurse should take to address this situation?

  • Ask the client to provide a more detailed and consistent explanation about the cause of the injury.

  • Document the findings and report suspected abuse to the appropriate authorities.

  • Focus on stabilizing the wrist injury and avoid pushing the client for more details at this time.

  • Tell the client they are safe and recommend discussing the situation with a counselor after discharge.
