The forensic nurse has a powerful role in medical-legal
investigations. Going beyond the nurse's traditional role, forensic
nurses are often at the forefront of evidence collection and
preservation. They can maintain an evidentiary chain of custody,
testify as an expert witness in a court of law, care for victims,
assist victims' families, and work with the community and law
enforcement by providing educational programs. Forensic Nursing: A
Concise Manual presents practical information directed at the range
of activities that forensic nurses perform, offering guidelines for
examining and correlating medical, psychological, ethical, and
legal data specific to victims. The First Forensic Nursing Text to
Offer a Full Range of Instructor's Materials The book begins with
an introduction to the fields of forensic nursing and forensic
science. It discusses crime scene and death investigation, evidence
collection, autopsies, legal issues, and ethics. It examines the
nursing process as an organizational tool for identifying both the
medical needs of the victim and the legal aspects of crime scene
investigation. The authors pinpoint the role of the forensic nurse
in an array of incident scenarios, including nursing home death,
excited delirium syndrome, blunt and sharp force injuries, gunshot
wounds, asphyxia, child abuse, sexual assault, and intimate partner
violence. They also explore human trafficking and the forensic
nurse's role in mass disasters. Lastly, the book provides emergency
room recommendations, discusses profiling and forensic
anthropology, and offers guidance on working with grieving family
members. Using a succinct outline format, the text is complemented
by illustrative flowcharts and references in each chapter for
further study. With contributions by notable forensic specialists,
this volume shows the potential of this exciting new field and
demonstrates how forensic nurses can make a difference in their
communities and their profession.
