Which action reflects trauma-informed care when engaging Julianna?

• A. Rush through the assessment.
• B. Share patient information with family without consent.
• C. Force the patient to talk about experiences.
• D. Speak with Julianna privately and create an environment where she feels safe.

Answer: (D)

Trauma-informed care centers on creating safety, trust, and autonomy in interactions with someone who has experienced trauma. Speaking with Julianna privately and creating an environment where she feels safe directly supports her sense of safety, gives her control over what she shares, and builds trust in the clinician–patient relationship. This approach respects boundaries and reduces the risk of re-traumatization. Rushing through the assessment can undermine safety and overwhelm her with premature or pressured disclosure. Sharing patient information with family without consent violates confidentiality and erodes trust. Forcing her to talk about experiences disregards her readiness and can retraumatize her.
