Comprehensive Forensic Nursing Care of Victims & Families

Abstract

Many nurses are not mentally ready to provide services to the victims of violence and offenders. Those who get training in forensic nursing  are always ready to assist this group of the population. They can provide good care to such victims while simultaneously taking care of the  medico-legal issues. They can provide short-term and long-term care to them and simultaneously they can take care of their families and  friends during the tense moments of their life. They not only can advocate their cause but also help in the prevention of crime. Forensic  nurses can provide comprehensive forensic nursing care to the victims and their families in an effective manner by providing all services  required by them immediately and in the long run.
