Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The only outcome indicator clearly attainable within this time is for a staff member to provide the victim with information about community resources that can be contacted. The development of insight into the abusive relationship requires time. Securing a restraining (protective) order can be quickly accomplished but not while the patient is in the emergency department. Facilitating the abuser's counseling may require weeks or months.
Learning Objectives
- Use interpersonal talents to connect with victims in a manner that is both sensitive and effective.
- Develop strategies for supporting victims in planning safe escape from abusive situations.
