Baroni, StephanieRichmond, Therese S2023-05-232023-05-232006-01-012016-09-13https://repository.upenn.edu/handle/20.500.14332/41589Firearm injury is a disease that afflicts many individuals in the United States, either directly or indirectly. Trauma and critical care nurses have direct experience with this life-threatening disease and recognize the high lethality and life-altering consequences of these injuries. The magnitude of this health problem requires a focus on primary prevention. We recognize that any focus on firearm injury is often contentious and political; however, nurses bring a ready-made credibility and focus on evidence-based practice to the prevention of this disease.© 2006.
