Forensic Nursing Science

It's a great text book - lots of pictures and easy to read. Some of the info may be outdated soon but that's to be expected in a science field as fast moving as forensics.

As a expert victim of hate crime related to terrorism, who is also a Registered Nurse, it's nice to finally see a publication that properly addresses victim issues.Victim services are most commonly provided by local or federal government departments, however these services are severely lacking when it comes to conducting a comprehensive assessment and plan for those affected, especially in complex cases in which there is more than one criminal and/or more than one victim, and in simultaneous occurring crime issues. Trust me, the authors of this book are much smarter than any victim service coordinator who works for the government. This book addresses both the criminals and the victims and their interrelated components. Therefore, the reader is able to develop a sense for what kinds of services a victim might need now or in the future; very much like addressing actual and potential medical problems for patients, (basic nursing practice).A excellent read for anyone who is looking to learn more about the subject of crime from a comprehensive holistic approach, or considering expanding their professional nursing practice to help crime victims.Susan Knisely B.S.N., R.N.Critical Care & Emergency Room NurseExpert Victim of Terrorism/Hate Crimes[...]

The book that I need for SANE class

I am currently taking a forensic nursing class this semester and have found this book to be interesting and very helpful in my class.

I was really happy to see this text available for Kindle. I can have it available at any time but don't have to lug around a lot of books. This book is a must-have for forensic nurses. There is lots of info that is the foundation of the profession.

This is a great beginning read for those looking into Forensic Nursing as a career. It is actually helping me in my DNP program right now, and isn't a required or recommended text book. (but It really should be). It is also helping me with my Clinical inquiry project. Virginia Lynch is my theorists, and it breaks down the framework she created for Forensics nurses to use in any situation.

Some good information. Information about firearms is not well written. A bit of opinion is worked into factual information. Basically a good text.

Very informative and up to date on Forensic nursing. Lynch I feel is the father of forensic nursing. Lots of good information and pictures, great resource book. A must have in nursing.

Shipped fast , excellent book !

Una specie di Bibbia dell'infermieristica forense, scritto da una delle più note iniziatrici e ispiratrice della disciplina; con il supporto autorevole di Janet Barber, infermiera già in servizio presso l'Aeronautica degli Stati Uniti d'America con il grado di colonnello, che è venuta in più occasioni anche in Italia a tenere lezioni agli studenti universitari.E' un' opera corale a cui hanno collaborato esperti degli argomenti generali (le basi dell'infermieristica forense) e specifici, fra cui le lesioni personali, l'accertamento delle cause di morte, l'attività di sopralluogo, gli abusi sui minori, le violenze sessuali, l'assistenza a pazienti ricoverati in istituti di pena e in istituti psichiatrici... solo per citare alcuni aspetti del lungo elenco delle competenze dove l'infermiere può esercitare la sua professione fra tutela della salute e della legge. Fra i nuovi capitolo introdotti nella seconda edizione, molto attuale quello sulla sicurezza degli operatori sanitari e la prevenzione degli atti violenti in ospedali e luoghi di cura.La pubblicazione di questa edizione anche in formato e-book dà la possibilità di utilizzare dovunque un'opera così ponderosa e completa.Gli infermieri di nuova formazione sono in grado di apprezzare i contenuti dell'opera leggendola nella lingua originale; certo sarebbe bello poter disporre di una traduzione in italiano per estendere consultazione ad un numero di lettori più grande.

the book was in general in good condition, but the book has been written all over in ink for at least the first chapter
