Examine the patient, obtaining various specimens. Offer treatment for VD, pregnancy. Arrange for followup care. Assign Staff Member to Remain with Patient From the beginning of the patient's interaction with you, a staff member of the same sex and preferably similar rank should be assigned to remain with the patient for the duration of her care until she leaves the medical area.
