Domestic Violence Awareness for Healthcare Personnel Course
Domestic Violence Awareness for Healthcare Personnel Course is organized by Physicians Insurance - A Mutual Company.
Origination: Sep 2021
Expiration: Jul 2024
Description:
Nurses encounter victims of domestic violence or intimate partner violence regardless of where they work. Those who practice in offices, hospitals, clinics, homes, or facilities must be aware that living with domestic violence may be part of a person’s daily life. Even though education for healthcare professionals and routine screening in EDs is mandated, many abused people do not receive needed support. Nurses are able to recognize and help victims, yet do not necessarily receive education about domestic violence. This updated CE module provides information nurses need to increase their understanding of and provide support to people experiencing domestic and intimate partner violence.
Disclaimer: Images in this course depict violence that has been inflicted on children and adults. They may be disturbing to some learners.
