In the Abuse/Neglect scenario, assume the incident occurred in California. 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 https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/systemwide/laws-policies/state/?hasBeenRedirected=1) 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)?
