a chaperone should be present during the history-taking as well as during any examination
complete notes of the history and examination should be made including diagrams of injuries, as these may be needed for medico-legal purposes
a general physical examination should be performed first to look for other injuries
taking specimens for forensic examination should be considered if the patient consents but still refuses to see a police surgeon including: - swabs from vulva, vagina, and perineum - a smear of vaginal secretions - clippings of pubic hair
Annotations allow you to add information to this page that would be handy to have on hand during a consultation. E.g. a website or number. This information will always show when you visit this page.
