    Author: Lazzaro MV, McFarlane J.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1991 Oct; 21(10):24-9. PubMed ID: 1919770.
    Abstract:
    Estimates are that 1.8 million women are physically abused each year by their husband. Abused women are seen daily in emergency rooms, prenatal clinics, primary care centers, and inpatient units. To prevent abuse and the adverse health and economic consequences, routine assessment is essential. The authors offer a step-by-step plan to establish a successful abuse screening program.
