-Factors that contribute to workplace violence (WPV): lack of consequences, consistency, and collaboration (Renker, Scribner, & Huff, 2013).
-WPV in emergency departments is grossly underreported (ENA, 2011). ]]> 2017-04-01 20:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164127965 brittneymfisher https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128216 -Nurses are the frontline of the medical field
-Nurses handle WPV individually, so their role depends on how they choose to manage WPV
-Examples of roles that nurses can play during instances of WPV include: notifying or not notifying incidences to security, not reporting violence to authorities, and how the nurse chooses to respond verbally and physically during a violent situation.]]> 2017-04-01 20:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128216 brittneymfisher https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128398 -Nurses have the most immediate contact with patients
-Nurses need to make changes to how they react physically and verbally during escalating situations, how they manage the situation as it is occurring, and how they report the situation after it has occurred.]]> 2017-04-01 20:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128398 brittneymfisher https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128419 -Most issues with involvment are of personal or social nature
-Nurses personally choose not to notify security officers or report violent incidences
-Reasons for not reporting violence include: “a perception that assaults are part of the job, a belief among employees that reporting will not benefit them, a concern that assaults may be viewed as evidence of poor job performance, and a lack of institutional policies” (ENA, 2011, p. 8).]]> 2017-04-01 20:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128419 brittneymfisher https://padlet.com/brittneymfisher/o7mwkit9001v/wish/164128437 -Promote a reporting culture
