Question 1 of 5

A nurse is presenting an in-service about the cycle of violence to nursing staff. The nurse should include that which of the following occurs during phase 1 of the cycle of violence?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Arguments increase in frequency. In phase 1 of the cycle of violence, tension builds up between the individuals involved, leading to an increase in arguments and conflict. This phase is characterized by escalating tension and stress, which sets the stage for the subsequent phases of the cycle.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because physical harm by the perpetrator, promises to change, and involvement of law enforcement officers typically occur in later phases of the cycle, not in phase 1. By focusing on the frequency of arguments in phase 1, the nurse can effectively educate the nursing staff about the early signs of potential violence and the importance of early intervention to prevent escalation.
