Forensic Notes

This spiral-bound, pocket guide is the perfect quick reference for healthcare providers who collect forensic evidence from patients in any setting.

You will find information about specific forensic topics, step-by-step procedures for retrieving and preserving evidence, and the best practices to follow to promote patient safety.

“I highly recommend this book for both the novice and seasoned forensic nurse and it would also make a great commencement gift for someone coming onto a forensic team. All of the vital, practical clinical forensic nursing information needed is at the reader’s fingertips in a size that can easily be placed in pocket, cart, locker, or drawer.

Each reader needs to clearly put their name on the book, as anyone with any forensic nursing interest that gets a chance to look through it will likely want to “borrow” the copy and no one would want to part with their Forensic Notes.”
