NCLEX RN Practice Question

Unexplained injuries, such as bruises in patterns or different stages of healing, are often associated with physical abuse. These injuries may not align with normal childhood activities or reported accidents. In contrast, injuries consistent with playful or known incidents, such as typical skinned knees, are less likely to indicate abuse. Poor hygiene is more commonly associated with neglect, not physical abuse. Verbal aggression from a caregiver is indicative of emotional abuse rather than physical abuse.
