Question

a nurse manager is discussing sexual assault nurse examiners (sanes) and the interventions they use when caring for clients who have been sexually assaulted. which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
a sane informs the client of the requirement to file a police report.
a sane instructs the client to follow - up with their provider in 2 months.
a sane requests the police collect the physical evidence from the clients body following the assault.
a sane offers clients some options about their care.

Explanation:

• For option A: SANEs do not inform clients of a requirement to file a police report; clients have the choice to report or not.
• For option B: Follow - up with a provider in 2 months is not a typical SANE intervention for immediate care after sexual assault.
• For option C: SANEs are trained to collect forensic evidence themselves, not request the police to do so from the client's body.
• For option D: SANEs empower clients by offering them options regarding their care, such as whether to report, have evidence collected, etc. This is a key aspect of SANE care as it respects the client's autonomy.

Answer:

D. A SANE offers clients some options about their care.
