I am very delighted to bring my readers this simplified “IntroductionTo Forensic nursing and IndianLaws’’is a growing nursing field blending nursing science with forensic science, law, and criminology. A forensic nurse is one who provides specialized care for patients who are victims and perpetrators in medico legal cases. At its core, this specialty seeks to address healthcare issues that have a medico legal component that often involves violence, trauma, death, abuses, criminal activity, liability, and accidents. Forensic nurses trained in this field have enhanced education and training in the forensic practices of documenting injuries, collecting biological fluids, and preserving evidence such as clothing from the assault. Forensic nurses often act as multidisciplinary team members from various healthcare settings and law enforcement as well. Knowing foundational aspects of forensic nursing can serve nursing students  who care for diverse patients and may be victims of abuse or crimes.
