A nurse is caring for a client in the emergency department. Exhibits Drag words from the choices below to fill in each blank in the following sentence. The nurse should identify that the client’s dropdown and dropdown are consistent with sexual assault.

The nurse should identify that the client’s diagnostic results and abdominal examination are consistent with sexual assault. Choice A: The diagnostic results show a positive test for GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid). GHB is a central nervous system depressant that is commonly referred to as a “club drug” or “date rape” drug. It is often used in cases of drugging and sexual assault due to its euphoric and calming effects at low doses. Larger doses can cause loss of consciousness and a type of short-term memory loss known as anterograde amnesia4. These effects have led sexual predators to use GHB as a date-rape drug. Choice B: The client’s blood pressure is 128/88 mm Hg, which falls within the normal range of 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. Therefore, the blood pressure does not provide any specific indication of sexual assault. Choice C: the abdominal examination reveals tenderness, which could be a result of the assault. This, along with the client’s statement and physical signs such as bruising and broken fingernails, supports the client’s claim of sexual assault. Choice D: The client’s temperature is 37°C (98.6°F), which is within the normal body temperature range of 97.8°F to 99.1°F (36.5°C to 37.3°C). Therefore, the temperature does not provide any specific indication of sexual assault. Choice E: While the presence of GHB in the client’s system is a significant finding, it is part of the diagnostic results rather than a separate drug assessment. Therefore, this choice is not as accurate as Choice A (Diagnostic results).
