title: Are you losing nurses due to violence in your ED? You should take action now!
abstract: To address the higher risks of violence to ED staff, you'll need to implement strategies for prevention and security response. Instead of waiting for an assault to occur, have security respond to potentially violent patients. Include abuse by co-workers in your violence prevention policies. Consider using a security dog as a deterrent.
