abstract="In 2015, the American Nurses Association issued a position statement on workplace violence. An authoritative, disciplinary position is critically important to inform  policies and recommendations addressing this significant issue in nursing. Position  statements and policies should reflect disciplinary values. A discourse analysis of  this position statement was performed through the lens of nursing ethics. The  position statement endorses a zero-tolerance response, which is moralist, punitive,  and questionably effective. It problematically presents patient and coworker  violence as equivalent. Promotion of this position has the potential to erode public  trust and lead us down a path of criminalizing illness behaviors.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
