With the rise in strangulation during sexual assault, a focused neurological assessment is crucial for all patients. This poster details the pathophysiology of strangulation and the impact on cranial nerves and on the body, offering a QR code for quick access to a specialized strangulation assessment for efficient assessment.
Learning Outcomes:
Increased knowledge about:
cranial nerve function while explaining the pathophysiology occurring int he body, along with enhancing understanding of the neurological damage affecting the body.
recent data on strangulation in sexual assault cases, along with education on safety planning and providing aftercare instructions to patients for effective support and recovery.
conducting a comprehensive neurological exam, including a focused cranial nerve assessment, to evaluate the nervous system and detect any possible issues or abnormalities.
