In contemporary culture, there is an increase in both violence and lawsuits. In order to give compassionate care that is thorough, every nurse has to have a basic understanding of the most common kinds of abuse and maltreatment. They need also be prepared for unavoidable exposure to the judicial system (civil, criminal, human rights). A rapidly growing and fascinating nursing subspecialty is forensic nursing. Many people consider this approach to comprehensive health care to be both interesting and intriguing. Developing a unique skill set based on evidence-based practice enables nurses to contribute significantly both within and outside of the conventional practice context. The information provided in this one-day training will enable you to recognize and assist abused/victimized patients, get insight into useful assessment tools, go through a variety of charting examples, and closely examine a profusion of pictures and case studies. This is a crucial knowledge update that covers current trends in risk management and application to practice in order to avoid bad consequences because very few nurses were trained in legal topics.
