Abstract
In 2008, the Joint Commission issued a Sentinel Event Alert regarding lateral violence as unacceptable in a culture of safety, and stated that it may have an effect on preventable negative patient outcomes. Studies have found that lateral violence is pervasive in nursing work environments, both among staff RNs and between staff RNs and management. Many different ideas as to how to address workplace violence among RNs exist, including educational programs and policies regarding the consequences of lateral violence. Nurses need to be aware of the definition of workplace violence, as well as the methods for resolving violence in a professional manner and plans to prevent workplace violence in the future.
