A nurse practitioner is in session with a 19-year-old patient treated for PTSD. The patient has come with their domestic partner, who has left the room to use the restroom. During this interval, the patient divulges to the nurse practitioner that their domestic partner kidnapped them when they were 6 years old, and they have been used as a sex worker since the age of 15. The patient has only been allowed to come to the mental health appointment because they have been waking up the whole house with nightmares for the past month. The patient is terrified of their domestic partner, and they report physical and sexual abuse by this person daily. The patient is kept inside a house with the other “workers,” where food, water, and recreational drugs are also used to control the patient’s behaviors. Just as the patient is about to tell the nurse practitioner more, the domestic partner returns to the room and demands to know what has been discussed during their absence. The nurse practitioner informs the domestic partner that they have been examining a potential medication for the treatment and proceeds to educate the domestic partner about it.
