public health nurse is assessing an older adult client who lives with a family member. The nurse identifies several bruises in various stages of healing. The client and family member explain that the bruises are a result of clumsiness. However, based on the distribution of the bruises, the nurse suspects abuse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first? Document the bruises in the clients chart. Report the findings to a supervisor. • Provide the client with a crisis hotline number.

A 52-year-old woman complains that she has been missing days of work almost every week. She states she is neglecting her family and she is sleeping during the day but cannot sleep at night. She denies other health problems, medication, or environmental allergies. Discuss what questions you would ask the patient, what physical exam elements you would include, and what further testing you would want to have performed.

8.3.4. The nursing supervisor in a local health department wished to study the influence of time of day on length of home visits by the nursing staff. It was thought that individual differences among nurses might be large, so the nurse was used as a blocking factor. The nursing supervisor collected the following data: Length of Home Visit by Time of Day Nurse | Early Morning | Late Morning | Early Afternoon | Late Afternoon A | 27 | 28 | 30 | 23 B | 31 | 30 | 27 | 20 C | 35 | 38 | 34 | 30 D | 20 | 18 | 20 | 14 Do these data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in length of home visit among the different times of day? Let ̑ = .05.

In 2017 the Pew Research Center conducted a survey on family-leave practices and attitudes. Respondents were asked to complete this sentence: "When a family member has a serious health condition, caregiver responsibilities ..." with choices being "mainly on women," "mainly on men," or "on both men and women equally." The percentages for each response are shown in the table below. For these age groups, the responses fell only into the two categories shown in the table. Assume a sample size of 1200 for each age group. $$\begin{array}{|lcc|}\hline \text { Age } & \begin{array}{l}\text { Fall mainly } \\ \text { on women }\end{array} & \begin{array}{l} \text { Fall equally on } \\\text { men and women }\end{array} \\\hline 30-49 & 60 \% & 40 \% \\50-64 & 62 \% & 38 \%\end{array}$$ Can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of people aged 30 to 49 and aged 50 to 64 who feel the primary caregiver responsibility falls on women? Use a significance level of $0.05$.
