Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A SANE is a specially trained registered nurse who applies the nursing process during forensic examinations to victims or perpetrators of sexual assault. The SANE collects forensic evidence related to a reported crime and frequently testifies as an expert witness at subsequent trials. If the client is medically stable, the SANE is responsible for conducting a thorough examination, including obtaining a history, performing the physical assessment, and collecting forensic evidence. The nurse coroner would be responsible for ensuring that appropriate measures were taken to perform death investigations and certify death certificates. Legal nurse consultants provide assistance within the legal system using specialized nursing knowledge and expertise when interactions of law and health issues arise. The forensic nurse death investigator evaluates the death scene from a holistic nursing perspective and might interpret the scene differently.
