Final Answer :
B, C, F
Explanation :
The nurse should refrain from using pejorative language when documenting assessments of victims of sexual assault. "Reported" should be used instead of "alleged." "Penetration" should be used instead of "intercourse." "Declined" should be used instead of "refused."
