Serosanguineous drainage is composed of serum and blood. Discharge containing pus is described as purulent drainage. Discharge composed of blood only is described as sanguineous drainage. Discharge composed of clear serum is described as serous drainage.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the victim, whether female or male, to seek physical and psychological treatment immediately following a sexual assault. A specific equipment kit, known as a rape kit, will contain specimen collection containers. The nurse will assist the physician with the pelvic examination and provide emotional support to the rape victim. Often, victims of rape, childhood sexual abuse, or other sexual assault want to put the experience behind them as quickly as possible. This may lead to flashbacks and other symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. The police should be notified; usually a female officer will interview a female victim.
