Sexual assault is a major public health problem. Patients who have been sexually assaulted have complex medical, psychological and forensic needs. Colleen Pedrotty, MSHA, MSN, RN, CEN, SANE, will highlight the essential things you MUST know when it comes to caring for sexually assaulted patients. These oftentimes highly traumatic situations require comprehensive care, consisting of a health and history assessment, prophylactic treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV post-exposure prophylaxis, pregnancy prophylaxis, forensic evidence collection, psychological follow-up and appropriate referrals to law enforcement based on the patient’s needs.
This engaging program is going to drive home important information through skills stations and case-based learning activities. You are guaranteed that this course will be so much more than just listening to a presenter lecture. You will gain unforgettable, new insights for the sexually assaulted patients who you encounter in practice through creative and interesting learning opportunities.
