This Simulated Patient Encounter maps to Scenario MAT 01 – Darlene Hall – Intimate Partner Violence on the Elsevier Evolve Platform

Darlene Hall, a 17-year-old Caucasian female at 36 weeks’ gestation, presented to triage with complaints of abdominal pain. The nurse conducted an Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) screen and Darlene revealed that the cause of her injury was a punch to her abdomen, which was delivered by her 25-year-old boyfriend and the father of the baby. During this scenario, learners must determine the impact and intervene accordingly.
