A sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) is specially trained in providing care and collecting forensic evidence from sexual assault victims. They work to ensure the victim's physical and emotional needs are met while also preserving valuable evidence that may be used in legal proceedings. A sexual assault nurse practitioner (SANP) may also provide care to victims of sexual assault, but their focus is primarily on the victim's medical needs and may not have the same level of forensic training as a SANE. Counselors may also be involved in the care of sexual assault victims, but they are not trained in medical or forensic procedures. A sex-determination nurse is not relevant to this scenario.
