N2  - Most faculty are not prepared for the possibility of encountering Munchausen syndrome (MS) in nursing students and Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) in nursing students' children. When confronted with MS or MSP, their first reaction is often hostility coupled with a sense of betrayal. Given that individuals with this condition are attracted to helping professions, the authors describe both conditions in a case in which a nursing student presented with MS and the student's daughter was a victim of MSP. The focus is on protection of any children and the public, psychiatric treatment for the offender, and assistance for faculty.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
