The Intermediate-Level SANE/SAFE Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Assessment is a tool that is of value to forensic nurses at all levels. The learning activities demonstrate sound educational precepts and build on existing knowledge. This book presents advanced cases that challenge the reader’s critical thinking. The forensic clinician is engaged in slightly more complex patient management throughout the learning process in this workbook. The case study format in this book is a great adjunct to support classroom learning and allows for discussions with colleagues and mentors with peer review or in actual practice. Progressive practice promotes efficiency that affects clinical thinking and improves patient outcomes while building clinician confidence from the start of a forensic career. Sound forensic nurse leaders and experts are more likely to develop the expertise and knowledge that leads to collaborative interprofessional relationships that are built on trust—all of which lead to improved justice outcomes. I would highly recommend the use of the Intermediate-Level SANE/SAFE Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Assessment in a classroom or clinical setting, or for personal growth.
