The community health nurse is teaching a class to a group of college women at the local community college. The nurse's teaching is focused on the risk factors of interpersonal violence (IPV) and rape
Which statement by the college student indicates that the nurse's teaching has been effective?
1. "Interpersonal violence is typically committed by men only."
2. "Interpersonal violence is typically committed by young individuals."
3. "Interpersonal violence is usually related to dynamics of power and control."
4. "Interpersonal violence is usually related to the concepts of self-esteem and self-worth."
Answer: 3
Explanation: IPV, or domestic violence, involves aggressive behavior of many types between individuals in an intimate or dating relationship. IPV is usually related to dynamics of power and control, not self-esteem and self-worth. While IPV most often refers to violence toward women by men; however, women may engage in an equal amount of violence toward men, although the results of male partner violence are stronger and more severe. IPV may occur at any age.
