N2  - 1. Nurses can facilitate the disclosure by a young child of sexual abuse by using developmentally sensitive language, such as through the use of proper nouns, single-idea sentences, and the avoidance of technical terms. 2. Nurses can guide the interview from benign, open-ended questions to context-specific, focused questions. Differentiation is made between being specific versus being suggestive. 3. Rapport-building is an important part of the alliance with the child and the nurse. Interviewers should be matter-of-fact and acknowledge any discomfort the child may demonstrate. 4. Cognitive interviewing is a specific technique designed to access accurate recall of a child's memories through reconstruction and memory-jogging techniques.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
