This module aims to outline the trauma-informed care of victims of sexual violence, including assessment, forensic evidence collection, documentation, and a brief overview of providing testimony. This course also satisfies the continuing education requirement for nurses in the state of Texas for sexual assault and forensic training. Any nurse employed in an emergency department in Texas must take a one-time 2 contact hour course on forensic evidence collection, including information relevant to forensic evidence and age-appropriate care. The state of Illinois offers its own free 2-contact hour SANE training course for staff working within emergency departments through their attorney general's office, www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov. Nurses in KY and elsewhere should refer to our other Forensic Evidence courses.
