Abstract

The role of trauma nurses extends beyond patient care, intersecting significantly with forensic science. Trauma nurses are often the first healthcare professionals to encounter victims of violent crimes, providing critical medical interventions while also preserving and documenting forensic evidence. This article explores the multifaceted contributions of trauma nurses to crime scene analysis, emphasizing their unique position in the forensic landscape. By examining their training, responsibilities, and collaboration with law enforcement, this study underscores the essential role trauma nurses play in the criminal justice system.
