AbstractSexual assault is considered the silent, violent epidemic. However, many critical care nurses are unaware of the injury patterns that may indicate that their patient has been sexually assaulted.

This article provides both background information about sexual assault and guidance to critical care nurses on how to manage this difficult situation.
