Nursing and Workplace Violence
A new initiative has been introduced to educate nurses, health care workers, and social services workers on how to prevent workplace violence where you

work. Write a 750–1,000-word article on workplace violence and prevention measures for the hospital employee newsletter.

• What are the more common reasons for workplace violence?
• What clinical risk factors can lead to workplace violence?
• What obligation does a health care facility have to protect workers from violence?
• What personal safety strategies do you have to protect yourself from violence at work?
• Identify the political, legal, and/or legislative factors that may contribute to violence in health care settings. Consider the types of patients

that may be treated within a clinical or hospital setting.
• Compare OSHA regulations and the ANA position statement on workplace violence to organizational policies.
• Explain safety policies and protocols for preventing and responding to violence against health care workers.
