Everyone in a high school was very upset over the fact that one of the students had shot and killed another student. The nurse decided this was an appropriate time to establish a program to help prevent violence
Which of the following groups of students should receive the program first?
a.
Elementary school grades 4, 5, and 6
b.
Grades 7, 8, and 9
c.
High school grades 10, 11, and 12

ANS: A
Violence prevention programs should begin in elementary schools. Children who exhibit aggressive behavior in elementary school are more likely to exhibit antisocial and violent behavior as adolescents and adults. Programs should teach stress management, conflict and anger resolution, and personal and self-esteem development. This program would be offered too late for children in grades 7 through 12, and should be offered to a larger audience than only those who knew the victim and assailant. Thus, the priority population would be the elementary school children.
