A nurse is working with a parent-teacher association to combat school bullying. What action can the nurse suggest that would best help to decrease this form of interpersonal violence?
A.
Advise that victims' parents call law enforcement and press charges.
B.
Begin offering martial arts classes in the school for bullied children.
C.
Encourage the school to adopt no-tolerance policies for bullying.
D.
Suggest limiting television viewing, especially for younger children.
ANS: D
Some research has shown that violent media exposure is linked to violent behavior. Included in media are computer games, which can also be violent. Younger children may not be able to distinguish between real and fantasy and may be overly influenced by violent images. No-tolerance policies can be helpful, as can a social environment in which children and their parents are held accountable legally. Offering martial arts classes may send the wrong message and would most likely not diminish the incidence of bullying.
