Answer:
The best answer to the question: When it comes to type 3, or horizontal violence, which of the following statements is true? Would actually be A: Only a small percentage of nurses have ever experienced type 3 violence.
Explanation:
Type 3 violence, also known as horizontal violence, is a type of workplace violence in which coworkers in a working setting abuse each other first verbally, and it can go all the way to physically. Most commonly, this situation appears when there is a perception of a "lower" status of another person who heriarchically is actually not at the same level as another, and is abused for that reason. Most common cases happen between supervisors and underlings, as well as doctors to nurses. It can also happen between colleagues, as between nursing supervisors and those under the supervisor. Although cases of this type of abuse have been on the rise, the truth is that fortunately, there is a smaller percentage of nurses who have experienced such a thing, with patient to healthcare professional abuse, being more common.
