Feedback:
School nurses play a pivotal role in recognizing both children who are being victimized and those who are perpetrating violence, as they are in daily contact with the children. The parents of the children might know whether their own child is a victim or a perpetrator, but they likely would know the other children involved. The child's primary care provider and next door neighbor are not as likely to know of violence experienced or perpetrated by children as the school nurse is, due to the nurse's more frequent contact with the children and location in the school setting.
