Munchausen
by proxy syndrome: The forensic challenge of recognition,
diagnosis and reporting. Critical Care Nursing
Quarterly, 22(1), 52-64. Retrieved December

- Note:
Discussing the clinical profile of the perpetrator,
the victim, and the family may help nurses distinguish
medical fact from fiction.
Munchausen
by Proxy Syndrome (MBPS) is a rare form of abuse
in which a caregiver fabricates or produces symptoms
of an illness in a child, elder, or
disabled person. The deception is usually repeated
on numerous occa-sions, resulting in many hospitalizations,
considerable morbidity, and sometimes death. MBPS
is a factitious disorder in which caregivers injure
their victims in order to gain sympathy or attention
for themselves. It was named after Baron Karl von
Munchausen, the 18th century cavalry officer who returned
home from war and told embellished tales of his adventures.
MBPS is a very horrifying circumstance of abuse.
Unwillingness or the inabil-ity to recognize this
abuse deprives the victim of the opportunity
to be shielded from future harm. There is a need for
strategic protocols and a multidisciplinary approach
to this baffling problem.
