Case Study, Chapter 70, Sexuality, Fertility, and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sarah, a 24-year-old, was jogging on the trail at 6AM which she normally does every morning. She took her asthma medication prior to her run for her exercise-induced asthma. When she had half-finished her run, a man grabbed her from behind and dragged her into the nearby woods where he sexually assaulted her. He performed vaginal intercourse without her permission. She managed to get away and called the police who brought her to the emergency department (ED). While at the emergency room, Sarah met the forensic nurse who completed the forensic exam including collecting evidence for the “rape kit” and asking Sarah questions about who the possible assailant could be. Sarah admitted that she could not see the assailant’s face since he approached her from behind and then blindfolded her. Upon further investigation, Sarah stated that she had never had intercourse before. She does not have any medication allergies and no other significant medical history outside of the exercise-induced asthma. She has never been hospitalized and is a 4.0 graduate student working as a nurse in a nearby hospice unit. (Learning Objective 2) Based upon the above information, please answer the following questions: 1. What is collected for the “rape kit?” 2. What nursing interventions does the forensic nurse perform?
