Treatment may be given without consent in a life-threatening situation. Choices 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect. All attempts to notify a durable power of attorney for health care should be made. If unavailable, the physician assumes responsibility for treatment within facility protocol. The physician is obligated to have a discussion with the client in all non-lifethreatening situations. If clients are not able to speak for themselves, their power of attorney for health care or responsible party is involved in the consent process.

The nurse must be aware of cultural practices that resemble child abuse. These practices include coining, cupping, and fallen fontanella. Coining and cupping are thought to draw infections from the body. Coining involves rubbing a heated coin on the chest and torso and might cause bruising. Cupping uses heated glasses that can produce erythematous and ecchymotic rounded lesions or linear streaks on the body from the suction. Fallen fontanella involves turning a child upside down to correct a depressed fontanelle; it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration in infants. Retinal hemorrhages can also occur, and sometimes Shaken-Baby Syndrome is erroneously diagnosed. Psychosocial Integrity

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Trauma in any client, living or dead, has potential legal and/or forensic implications. Clothing, patterns of stains, and debris are sources of potential evidence and must be preserved. Nurses must be aware of state and local regulations that require mandatory reporting of cases of suspected child and elder abuse, accidental death, and suicide. Each Emergency Department has written policies and procedures to assist nurses and other health care providers in making appropriate reports. Physical evidence is real, tangible, or latent matter that can be visualized, measured, or analyzed. Emergency Department nurses can be called on to collect evidence. Health care facilities have policies governing the collection of forensic evidence. The chain of evidence custody must be followed to ensure the integrity and credibility of the evidence. The chain of evidence custody is the pathway that evidence follows from the time it is collected until is has served its purpose in the legal investigation of an incident. Physiological Adaptation
