%X Injuries can be classified as (1) MVAs, (2) unintentional injuries in the home environment, (3) occupational hazards, and (4) violent and abusive behavior. The word accident is misleading; the injuries have a cause that can be prevented. Nurses can help decrease the frequency of injuries by counseling clients regarding the consequences of their behavior and recommending basic precautions appropriate to the activity.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
