N2  - 1. Knowing the sexual abuse history of a patient contributes to a greater understanding of the patient's clinical problems and facilitates appropriate discharge planning. 2. Obtaining a history of sexual abuse is not always part of the nursing admission assessment sheet, and many staff members have little or no training on the therapeutic interventions for a history of sexual abuse. 3. The lack of staff training and the ambiguous nature of sexual abuse assessment must be examined in relationship to quality patient care.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
