For nurses, dealing with violence is not an option. Because it's a part of life, it's a part of their practice. Ann Burgess, RN, DNSc, takes readers through it all - assault, rape, and homicide - in our streets, our homes, our schools, every healthcare setting, and even the Internet. As one editor put it, "I haven't been able to read this stuff when I'm alone, because it's real." Dr. Burgess, a noted authority on forensic nursing, has compiled the ultimate sourcebook on this subject from her own case studies. She has provided a comprehensive framework that forensic nurses and those who are considering this new specialty will use for years to come. This book serves as a primer for nurses who care for victims, their families, and, on occasion, offenders.Burgess, Ann Wolbert is the author of 'Violence Through a Forensic Lens' with ISBN 9781930745001 and ISBN 1930745001.
