Featuring contributed chapters written by experts, Forensic Nursing: Evidence-Based Principles and Practice provides readers with a complete roadmap to forensic nursing, exploring both healthcare and criminal justice systems. By integrating forensic science with biopsychosocial knowledge and clinical nursing skills, the book provides a foundation for practicing nurses engaged in scientific investigation, evidence collection, and examination.
More than just a theoretical resource, the book serves as a practical guide to evidence-based practice in forensic nursing. It covers a wide array of topics, including evidence collection, child maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault, and builds competencies in deductive analysis, critical thinking, and communication. With exercises like case studies and questions that support real-life applications, it also serves as a guide to evidence-based practice in forensic nursing, underscored by current research and multidisciplinary insights.
Featuring vital updates on global topics such as disaster management, trauma-informed care, human rights violations, injury identification, human trafficking, and strangulation, the second edition continues to provide critical, evidence-based information that aligns with the competencies required for modern forensic nursing programs, certificates, and courses.
