Child abuse

 Child abuse and maltreatment is not limited to a particular   age—it can occur in the infant, toddler, preschool, and   school-age years. Choose one of the four age groups and outline the   types of abuse most commonly seen among children of that age. Describe   warning signs and physical and emotional assessment findings the nurse   may see that could indicate child abuse. Discuss cultural variations   of health practices that can be misidentified as child abuse. Describe   the reporting mechanism in your state and nurse responsibilities   related to the reporting of suspected child abuse.
