A 33 year old nurse visits a bar alone. That is something she has a habit of doing. While there she is persuaded by three men to go outside with them. She is raped by the men while outside and left outside the bar. The police are called by a bar visitor when discovering her on the ground. She is taken to a clinic designed to provide rape assessment and chemical abuse treatment. After agreement to admission what steps would be appropriate for the counselor to take?
Answer: A - Other steps mentioned are not wise and A is not enough. Unless she agrees or requests immediate contact of parents and friends the counselor has no business contacting them without her permission and the rape trauma needs to be addressed professionally. Although AA's twelve step program could be used to process and heal many disturbances. A rape trauma needs to be addressed with professionals trained on trauma resolution.
