Abstract
The nurse assumes a unique and critical role in the evaluation of children for sexual abuse. This paper outlines a particular approach to the nursing role encompassing both traditional nursing functions with family advocacy, child support, and counseling. Often the success of an evaluation depends on the nursing preparation of child and parent. Skill in developmental assessment, observation of parent-child interaction, and family support are essential. Nurses who work with abused children must be knowledgeable in psychosocial and developmental assessment techniques, a number of which are outlined here.
