4. Type I violence occurs when criminal intent or activity results in violence. In this type of violence, the perpetrator has no known relationship with the victim. Having a security guard escort the nurse to the nurse's vehicle will help to prevent this type of violence. Recognizing escalating anxiety in visitors and family members of patients is an appropriate intervention; however, this describes an intervention to prevent type II violence, not type I. Reporting threats from a peer or health care provider are appropriate interventions; however, these interventions best describe prevention against type III violence, not type I.
