Living Forensic is a part of forensic science that focus on living victims of abuse or trauma. Nurses in general are often exposed to the aftermath of many of these forensic matters. Unfortunately a lot of these cases do go unnoticed due to lack of training in the field of forensic. For this reason alone, I think that all nurses should undergo some form of forensic training. Having knowledge of the forensic principles and guidelines will assist nurses in upholding the rights of the patient by being able to recognize and protect evidence that can be used in determining verdict or cause.
