Question:
Which intervention is most effective at reducing patient violence against nurses?
Answer:
Teaching nurses to communicate respect for patients and confidence in themselves.
RATIONALE
Violence prevention includes both respect for patients and self-confidence in nurses. Nurses who are passive and tentative are more likely to be victims of violence. Patients who feel they are not respected are more likely to use violence as a way of getting their needs met. Requiring nurses to work in groups rather than alone would not be possible. Having security personnel stationed on all units would not entirely eliminate violence; many patients would not be aware of the presence of security officers on the unit, whereas others impaired by medication or illness would not factor in the presence of security personnel. Assigning only male nurses to care for psychiatric or chemically dependent patients is neither practical nor desirable. 1 / 3

Projection is a coping mechanism that allows the individual to unconsciously attribute his or her own weaknesses to others. Manipulation is an indirect way of dealing with issues that may be positive or negative. Assertiveness is another name for "honesty"; that is, it is a way to live the truth from your innermost being and to express this truth in thought, word, and deed.Passiveness (or being nonassertive) is a fear-based, emotionally dishonest, self-defeating type of behavior.

Answer:
values.
RATIONALE
Values involve the worth assigned to an idea or action. In this statement the nurse reveals that she values the traditional two-parent family. The statement does not clearly address any of the other options. Duty refers to the nurse's responsibility to provide care in an acceptable way. Fidelity challenges the nurse to be faithful to the charge of acting in the patient's best interest when the capacity to make free choice is no longer available to the patient. Ethics is a system of standards or moral principles that direct actions as being right or wrong.
