Fascinating case studies and provocative photos
Violence and lawsuits are rampant in our society. Every nurse should have a basic understanding of common maltreatment in order to provide compassionate and comprehensive care, as well as prepare for the inevitable impact of the legal system (civil, criminal, human rights). Forensic science is an explosive and exciting subspecialization of nursing. Many find this not only interesting, but also a compelling method of holistic patient care. Acquiring a distinctive set of skills based on evidence-based practice allows nurses to make valuable and unique contributions to typical practice and beyond. The content presented in this one-day course will allow you to identify and intervene with patients who have been abused/victimized, learn from valuable assessment tools, view various sample charts, and carefully study a variety of photos and case studies. Very few nurses were trained in legal matters; thus, this is a critical update of knowledge that takes into account current trends in risk management and their application in practice in order to mitigate negative consequences.
