Team 6: Abuse and its Effect on Families

Description

The conflict is within the interprofessional team that includes a midwife, a nurse, two social workers, and a psychologist. These team members experience challenges as they need to determine the safest option for a pregnant woman who is living with a child and an abusive partner. During the mother’s weekly checkups at the women’s shelter, the midwife notices that the child has bruises on his body but the mother claims the child is always falling. After a day at the shelter, the mother tries to leave. However, the midwife and nurse call on other professionals for their opinions.
