Question: You are an ER nurse. You admit a young female patient complaining of abdominal pain. You are preparing to complete your exam, but the patient's accompanying male visitor is resistant to leave the room. The patient appears anxious, frightened, and reluctant to answer questions.

What are the legal implication related to such situations? How might you phrase questions about the suspected abuse with the reluctant patient?
