For children of all ages, being exposed to abuse (e.g., hearing abuse, directly witnessing abuse), seeing the effect of abuse on their mothers, and living under conditions of chronic stress can lead them to experience a wide range of problems (e.g., physical, behavioural, emotional, and social problems).An infant living in such an environment can experience the stress and physical violence.It is important that the nurse determine if there was family violence of any sort in the patient's history.
