Haddon developed a matrix when examining methods to identify the risk of injury. The matrix looks at factors related to personal attributes, vector or agent attributes, and environmental at-tributes before, during, and after an injury or death. Hammer recognized that in forensic nursing practice, the caring component must address caring for oneself as well as caring for clients. Maslow's theory focuses on clients' meeting their hierarchy of needs.
