Therefore, risk assessments and the recognition and identification of abuse signs should be standard practice, especially in paediatric health care. The Ministry of Health has provided identification and response strategies for suspected child (and partner) abuse in the "Family Violence Intervention Guidelines" (2002), and this article highlights how these apply to Registered Nurses. The author explores how nurses can and should assess children for abuse in order to respond appropriately and promptly, as nurses play an important role in the identification and intervention of child abuse.
