This course will review who is at risk, the long-term effects of IPV on both the pregnant individual and fetus, screening tools for IPV, and prevalence. Learners will also have tools for recognizing IPV and implementing appropriate interventions. In addition, nurses completing this course will have an understanding of cultural competency, legal considerations, and referrals for their clients.
