The nurse is about to assess the possible incidence of sexual abuse. Based on an understanding of how males and females experience and internalize sexual trauma differently, the nurse would ask the male soldier:
a. "Have you ever been sexually abused?"
b. "Have you ever felt victimized sexually by anyone?"
c. "Has an unwanted sexual advance by anyone ever made you feel harassed or confused?"
d. "Has a superior officer ever made an unwanted sexual advancement that you felt you had to agree to?"
C
Males and females may experience sexual trauma in different ways. Males typically do not view themselves as being potential victims of sexual abuse and are not likely to admit to being a victim of sexual abuse. They may therefore experience it as a narcissistic insult, causing confusion and even questioning their masculinity or sexual preference. Asking the question in this context is a more effective questioning technique.
