Is the SANE role within the scope of nursing practice? On "pelvics," "colposcopy," and "dispensing of medications".

Clearly communicating with other professionals and with sexual assault survivors about the boundaries and imitations of the SANE medical-forensic examination is important. Although SANEs work cooperatively in an interdisciplinary sexual assault response team model to better meet the needs of sexual assault victims, they function as independent professional nurses in their role of collecting medical forensic evidence. Properly defined to focus on assessment, identification, and documentation of trauma, the SANE role is an independent professional role but is still within the scope of basic nursing practice. The answer to our question, "Is the SANE role advanced practice nursing or is it within the scope of basic nursing practice?" is thus "The SANE role is clearly within the scope of basic nursing practice."

Examining the sexual assault victim: a new model for nursing care.

1. A sexual assault nurse clinician or examiner is a registered nurse who has been specially trained to provide comprehensive care to sexual assault survivors. She usually is certified by her local institution after completing a training program of approximately 40 hours. Demonstrated competence in conducting a comprehensive evidential examination also is required. 2. All forensic examinations of the sexual assault survivor in the emergency department should include treatment and documentation of injuries, treatment and evaluation of sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy risk evaluation and prevention, crisis intervention and arrangements for follow-up counseling, and collection of medicolegal evidence while maintaining the proper chain of evidence. 3. The role of the nurse examiner involves providing comprehensive care for the survivor and working cooperatively with other individuals in the legal system.
