  1. Assist family members to work through feelings of grief and guilt.
  2. Advocate for support services for families of victims.
  3. Referral to assistance with legal and other tasks as needed.
  4. Assist families to find positive ways to cope with loss.

An important consideration for the population health nurse to address societal violence is to:
 
  1. Assess for environmental factors that could lead to violence.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Advocating for support services for families of victims is a population health consideration in providing care to homicide and suicide victims. Strategies to address individual concerns include assisting family members to work through their feelings, finding positive ways to cope, and referring for assistance in legal matters and other tasks.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Before acting on the other aspects of societal violence, the nurse needs to first assess the population for risk factors that could lead to violence. Asking all female members of the community if they have been abused is unrealistic and may generate false answers. While adolescent males have higher suicide risk potential, targeting them will not decrease suicide. Advocating for gun control may decrease violence, but is controversial given constitutional considerations.
