It depends on the situation and age of the client. If you care for a child, ask the parent. There could be a reasonable explanation. Document what you saw and what was said. If an elderly patient, ask the patient and the caregiver. Again document. You should probably also tell your direct Supervisor. If you notice more bruises, call your Supervisor so they can do a home check. If you are a nurse in the hospital, document, state it in Report, and notify the doctor if warranted.
NOTE: Health professionals are mandatory reporters for suspected abuse. Nurses, doctors, home health aides should call Children's Services, Elder Abuse agency, or even the local Health Department. Don't be quiet if you suspect abuse. You could be blamed or blamed for not reporting it.
