When working with rape victims, what is the focus of initial care?

A. Helping the victim feel safe is the primary focus of initial care. It is essential to provide emotional support and ensure the victim feels protected and secure in the immediate aftermath of the trauma. Creating a safe environment is a critical first step in addressing the victim's physical and emotional needs. B. Notifying law enforcement may be important, but it is not the primary focus of initial care. Victims should be given the option to make their own decisions about involving law enforcement and should not feel pressured. C. Collecting forensic evidence is crucial for legal purposes but comes after ensuring the victim's immediate safety and emotional well-being. The victim's safety and support should always take precedence. D. Documenting the victim's comments is important for legal reasons, but it should be done after the victim feels safe and supported. The victim should not be pressured into talking before they are ready.
