The primary purpose of the International Association of Forensic Nurses Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Education Guidelines is to help the sexual assault nurse examiner meet the medical forensic needs of those who have been affected by sexual violence, including individual patients, families, communities, and systems. Registered nurses who perform medical forensic evaluations in the expanded practice role of the SANE must receive additional and specific didactic and clinical preparation to care for adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients following sexual violence or assault. The sexual assault nurse examiner practicing within recommendations set forth in the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Education Guidelines uses the nursing process and applies established evidence-based standards of forensic nursing practice to ensure that all patients reporting sexual violence and victimization receive a competent medical forensic examination, taking into consideration developmental, cultural, racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual, and socioeconomic diversity.
