Assessment of domestic violence by nurse practitioners.
Domestic violence has reached epidemic proportions in American society. In the normal course of supplying medical care to women and children, NPs will encounter victims of physical, sexual, and psychological violence. It is imperative that NPs know how to assess for victimization and safety and that they provide patients with needed information about community services.
