Question:
Please read the following case and answer questions 12 and 13.
Brian, a 22-year-old healthy college student, has been a patient of yours for two years. You receive a message that he was seen in the Emergency Room over the weekend for acute chest trauma. At first, he said that he fell while rollerblading, but was then asked if he was being assaulted or harmed by someone when his CXR came back showing not just acute rib fractures, but also several older, healed rib fractures. He felt comfortable with the PA evaluating him in the Emergency Room and disclosed not only that he was gay but also that it was his boyfriend who has been abusing him for the last several months. He was sent to your office for follow-up of the Emergency Room visit. You are more than embarrassed that you never asked Brian about his sexual orientation and that you assumed his "roommate" was a friend.
Question 12
What should you do when Brian arrives in your office?
