A patient who has experienced a sexual assault presents to the emergency department. Which healthcare professional is specifically trained and considered the most appropriate person to perform the forensic evidence collection?
The correct answer is the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). A SANE is a registered nurse who has received specialized education and clinical training to provide comprehensive care to sexual assault survivors. This includes conducting a detailed forensic examination, collecting evidence, and providing expert testimony in court. While the attending physician and staff nurse are involved in the patient's overall medical care, the SANE has the specific expertise required for the forensic aspects of care. Law enforcement's role is related to the criminal investigation, not the clinical collection of evidence.
