A 17-year-old college student calls the emergency department
(ED) and tells the nurse that she was raped by a professor.
She wants to come to the ED but only if the nurse can assure
her that they will not call her parents. What should be the
nurse’s first priority?
a. Getting the patient into a safe environment and mobilizing
support for her.

b. Encouraging the student to disclose the name of the pro-
fessor so that his predatory behavior will be stopped.

c. Convincing the student to be assessed for pregnancy, STIs,
or other complications.
d. Convincing the student to tell her parents so that she can
receive their support.
