Neglect, in this case, is the malicious withholding of a physical necessity for this child's well-being. For this child, the neglect is intended to be punitive for bed wetting. The nurse would need to investigate further and take the necessary action in reporting this as abuse.Sexual abuse refers to sexual acts performed by an adult on a child under the age of 18. Physical abuse refers to a deliberate physical assault by an adult on the child such as burning, biting, poking, or twisting a limb. Psychological abuse refers to verbal assaults such as blaming, screaming, name-calling, and using sarcasm. Although any of these could be contributing factors to the bedwetting, there is at present no evidence that sexual, physical, or psychological abuse is occurring. Therefore, the nurse will identify that the child is being neglected.
