title: Self-inflicted shotgun injuries to the face: a case report.
abstract: Shotgun injuries to the face are difficult to care for due to the often massive tissue and bone destruction and the complications that can accompany these injuries. Psychological responses from the family, significant other, and nursing staff in dealing with disfiguring and sometimes fatal injuries are additional challenges that nurses will face.
