Responses to classmates must consist of at least 350 words (not including the greeting and the references), do NOT repeat the same thing your classmate is saying, try to add something of value like a resource, educational information to give to patients, possible bad outcomes associated with the medicines discussed in the case, try to include a sample case you’ve seen at work and discuss how you feel about how that case was handled. Try to use supportive information such as current Tx guidelines, current research related to the treatment, anything that will enhance learning in the online classroom. For this week’s post, I’ve decided to talk about violence and injuries in the United States. Violence according to Holtz (2017), is the intentional use of physical force or power, against oneself, another person, or a group or community that results in a high likelihood of injury, death, and threatens the safety and security of families and communities. As nurses we many times are exposed to violent situations whether we work with victims of violence or we become the victims ourselves when it comes from patients and their family members or even from our own colleagues. It is sad to note that within the United States, more than 187,000 people die from injuries each year, and that homicides remains the second leading cause of death among people who are between the ages of 15 to 24 (Holtz, 2017). Even though the violence problems in the United States are many, we as nurses can still contribute to peace and peacemaking, which are inherent to the foundations of caring, dignity, health, well-being, and advocacy for human betterment that give meaning to the profession of nursing (Rosa, 2017). This in turn should lead us to care not only for victims of violence, but many times, care for those causing the violence. If we were called to care for those involved in a violent altercation, we would be ethically bound to deliver equitable and quality care to both the aggressor and the victim (Rosa, 2017). As an example of this, I can say that in my 6 years of nursing experience, I had to take care of several violent prisoners such as a woman who killed her husband and was hospitalized for bullet wounds. Many nurses felt uncomfortable about caring for said woman, but I knew that I had to see this person as a human being in need of care and offer her the best of my abilities as much as I offered it to my other patients. When we work as nurses, we cannot judge our patients’ actions, we do this work for those who are in need of our help, and that is all I see at that moment of performing my nursing duties and nothing else.
