The rhetorical shaping of masculinity

• Offer support. The nurse practitioner can offer to be a resource for Jessica and to help her connect with other resources that may be helpful.
• Encourage Jessica to seek help. If Jessica is interested in seeking help, the nurse practitioner can provide her with information about counseling and support groups.

It is also important to remember that the nurse practitioner is not a substitute for a therapist or counselor. If Jessica is interested in getting professional help, the nurse practitioner can refer her to a qualified professional.

Here are some resources that may be helpful to Jessica:

• The National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE
• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): https://www.rainn.org
• The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) website has a chat feature where Jessica can talk to a trained counselor anonymously.
• The National Sexual Violence Resource Center: https://www.nsvrc.org

If you or someone you know has been the victim of DFSA, please reach out for help. You are not alone.

You are right. The nurse practitioner can answer these questions in a way that is clear, concise, and sensitive to Jessica's feelings. They can also provide information about resources that are available to help victims of DFSA, such as counseling and support groups.

Here are some additional things that the nurse practitioner can do:

• Validate Jessica's feelings. It is important to let Jessica know that her feelings are valid and that she is not alone.
• Be patient and understanding. It may take time for Jessica to process what happened and to feel comfortable talking about it.
• Offer support. The nurse practitioner can offer to be a resource for Jessica and to help her connect with other resources that may be helpful.
