A group of patients was brought into the emergency department after an attack occurred in an abortion clinic in the city. The newspapers and television had covered events of the attack
The nurse realizes the terrorist group who conducted the attack was most likely seeking: 1. Media attention to influence policy.
2. Improved conditions for those seeking abortions.
3. A way to call attention to the lack of abortion clinics in the city.
4. A way to expose those who are employed in abortion clinics.
Media attention to influence policy.
Rationale: The point of terrorist attacks is to attract media attention, increase support for the cause, influence policy, and create a sense of vulnerability. With the newspapers and television covering the terrorist event, those who staged the attack did receive media attention. There is not enough information to know if the terrorist group was trying to improve conditions in abortion clinics, calling attention to the lack of abortion clinics in the city, or trying to expose those who are employed in abortion clinics.
