A nurse planning teaching for a parent group concerned with preventing family violence can dis-cuss the fact that exposure to violence in the media:
 
  1. Has no effect on the increase of violence in society
  2. Assists individuals to distinguish appropriate behaviors from inappropriate be-haviors
  3. Desensitizes people to the violence around them
  4. Broadens the viewer's knowledge about world happenings

Question 2

The nurse who sees a number of battered women each year decides to put together a set of guidelines for nurses. An appropriate guideline to include, with the victims' informed consent, would be to:
 
  1. Take at least two photographs of each trauma area
  2. Assess for sexually transmitted disease
  3. Follow rape protocol even when rape is not suspected
  4. Make protective services aware of the abuse

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Violence in the media has been shown to desensitize people to environmental violence. Desensi-tization to violence results in people being apathetic about the violence going on around them. Option 3 is the only true statement given in the options.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The AMA guidelines recommend that two photos be taken of each traumatized area. One set is kept in the client's medical record; the other is sent to the client at a safe address. 2. This is part of rape protocol. 3. This is used only if there is evidence of sexual acts committed against the client's will. 4. Protective services are notified in cases of child abuse or battering of adults al-ready under the care of protective services.
