abstract="Victims of sexual assault face the multiple threats of disease, unwanted pregnancy, psychological trauma, and physical injury, which are further complicated by a comprehensive police investigation. An organized approach to the care of victims of sexual assault is presented, including guidelines for patient care and a discussion of police investigations, written consent forms, and physical evidence recovery kits. We recommend that the care of victims, from arrival in the emergency department until rehabilitation, be coordinated by a nurse. This specially trained individual serves as a liaison between the patient and the health professionals and police team.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
