RN HESI Mental Health Exam. ( 42 Questions)
A young female client is admitted to the emergency room because she was raped that evening by her date. Which computer documentation should the nurse enter in the electronic medical record as the client's chief complaint?
"Client has been sexually assaulted" is a formal and concise description. However, it isn’t written as a client would say it which is a key requirement in documentation of the presenting complaint.
"Client reported that she had sexual relations against her will" might be accurate but doesn't convey the severity of the situation as clearly as the term "sexually assaulted."
"Client claims that she was forced to participate in sexual intercourse" might describe the situation but doesn't necessarily reflect the urgency or trauma of the incident.
"Client states, 'My date raped me tonight'" is documented in the client’s own words and is descriptive enough to be the presenting complaint.
