Hello to all the nurses!! i have this case study that seems easy yet complicated to think at the same time. hahhaha! i hope to get more opinions here. Please... thank you ^^

History

66 years of age, Mr. Viva lives with his wife. His home is small and he doesn't go out. Has had a cerebral vascular accident 2 years previus with left sided weakness. He is unable to wash, dress and feed without assistance. He is admitted to your ward with a chest infection and pressure sores on the sacrum. Whilst you are taking a nursing history on admission he confides in you that his wife has beaten him on numerous occasions.

my question is, who would you tell?

i wrote first i would inform the senior nurse about this matter and then we will proceed to the ward's sister as well as to the patient's doctor in charge. but i just feel like by giving these answers are not enough.. i think i need to elaborate more on this but i just don't know how to elaborate it. any suggestions?

i urgently need the answer for this. thank you so much!!
