Domestic Violence: How the Nurse Can Be an Advocate
| Overview / Abstract: |
The CDC defines domestic violence as "physical, sexual, or psychological harm caused by a current or former spouse or partner." Domestic violence does not discriminate. It can occur in any culture or at any socioeconomic status or education level. After completing this course, participants should be able to recognize signs of physical abuse among patients; identify a method to therapeutically communicate with a domestic violence victim; identify a method for assisting a domestic violence client in a safety plan; and recognize the nurse's role and interventions when caring for the domestic violence victim. |
