Abstract
Forensic nursing has emerged as a vital subspecialty of healthcare that integrates medical knowledge with legal processes to ensure comprehensive care for victims of trauma, violence, and abuse. Emergency departments (EDs) often serve as the first point of contact for victims of assault, accidents, and crimes, making forensic nurses indispensable in bridging the gap between healthcare and justice systems. This paper explores the multifaceted role of forensic nurses in EDs, emphasizing their contribution to patient care, evidence collection, documentation, collaboration with law enforcement, and advocacy for vulnerable populations. Furthermore, it highlights challenges such as lack of training, limited awareness, and systemic barriers while proposing strategies to enhance forensic nursing practice. The study underscores the importance of strengthening forensic nursing education and integration within EDs to improve both medical and legal outcomes for patients.
