Family Violence Education Seminar

A nurse is preparing a community education seminar about family violence. When discussing types of violence, the nurse should include which of the following statements?

To answer this, we need to examine each statement to see if the example correctly matches the definition of the type of violence mentioned. Let's start with the first option.

Physical violence involves the use of physical force against another person that results in bodily injury. Pushing or intentionally causing a fall fits this standard definition accurately.

Now let's look at the second option: Striking a sexual partner is an example of sexual violence.

While the victim is a sexual partner, the act of striking is actually a form of physical violence, not sexual violence. Sexual violence specifically refers to non-consensual sexual acts.

The third option says: Refusing to pay bills for a dependent, even when funds are available, is neglect.
