AbstractClearly 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."
