Sexual abuse is a problem of epidemic proportions in the United States. In their practice, pediatric nurse practitioners will likely encounter children who have experienced sexual abuse-both those who have and have not previously been identified as victims. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are rare in sexually abused children and adolescents. However, when present, they can be crucial to making the diagnosis of sexual abuse and protecting children. This continuing education article will assist the pediatric nurse practitioner in interpreting the relationship between STIs and sexual abuse, correctly testing for STIs, and treating STIs in children and adolescents.
性虐待在美国是一个极为普遍的问题。在儿科执业护士的工作中,很可能会遇到曾遭受性虐待的儿童,包括那些此前已被确认为受害者以及未被确认的儿童。性传播感染(STIs)在遭受性虐待的儿童和青少年中较为罕见。然而,一旦出现,它们对于性虐待的诊断和儿童保护可能至关重要。这篇继续教育文章将帮助儿科执业护士解读性传播感染与性虐待之间的关系,正确进行性传播感染检测,并对儿童和青少年的性传播感染进行治疗。
