abstract="The examination and assessment of female victims of acute sexual assault are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the role of the sexual assault examiner in the collection, documentation and preservation of forensic evidence. Victim consent, the sexual assault history, and the collection of clothing, body, and anal/genital evidence are discussed in detail, emphasizing important forensic issues in each area. Future topics in this area are considered, including: use of colposcopy and toluidine blue dye to enhance genital examination, implications of Section 497.01 of the Criminal Code of Canada, the general warrant provision, and the increasing collaboration between the disciplines of medicine and nursing in the care of victims of acute sexual assault.<p />",
