N2  - An alarming increase in the prevalence of violent crime in the United States has lead to the birth of a new subset of victims, children who witness acts of violence. Results of multiple studies suggest that chronic exposure to violence has a profound negative impact on children's cognitive, social, psychologic, and moral development. As primary care providers, pediatric nurses and nurse practitioners are well-positioned to assess these children for early signs of exposure to violence, offer guidance and counseling, and make referrals for proper treatment.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
