Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Although the potential for violence and aggression exists in all healthcare settings, emergency, psychiatric, and geriatric settings are at particular risk for violence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Healthcare workers, especially nurses, experience a disproportionately high rate of violence, compared to personnel in other industries. Nurses are the primary target of violence in healthcare settings, especially those who work in emergency room, mental health, and geriatrics. Hader (2008) found that nurses experienced their colleagues as primary targets of violence 79.7 of the time.
