IMPORTANT NOTE: Assault Rape Mnemonic

Make sure to show empathy. If patient is crying offer her tissue & water and let her finish crying. Support the patient by letting her know that you are here for her and that what happened to her was not

her fault and could have happened to anyone. Encourage her to report the incident to the police if she/he hasn’t already done so. Offer her emergency contraceptives. Let her know that you are going to let the social worker come and talk to her and provide her with
