Question

An 82-year-old woman is brought in for a regular check-up by her caregiver, who waits in the waiting area during the examination. While performing a routine comprehensive physical examination, you notice bruises on her right and left upper arm. The most appropriate approach would be to say: Did someone grab you here? I'm concerned about your safety regarding these bruises on your arms. I notice you have similar bruising on both arms. Do you recall who caused these bruises?
