Please review the following Patient Information Ethical Dilemma Scenario.

• Legal, Ethics, and Compliance Issues: Scenario: Small Child in ER will healing broken bones with brittle bone disease. Currently in to be seen with fracture of tibia. Parents/caretakers have no knowledge of how it happened. I'm in Nebraska

In the Abuse/Neglect scenario, assume the incident occurred in the State in which you reside. Identify what action, if any, the health care provider should or is required to take. Provide support for your reasoning, including references to state regulations (see Child Welfare Information Gateway) and any best practice principles involved.

What, if anything, could the provider do to prevent future issues or mitigate any future harm/damage to the patient or the provider (or his/her organization)?
