Concepts and Principles in Forensic Nursing Practice for BSc Nursing Students | INC Syllabus Guide to Forensic Team, Evidence Collection, Victim Care with 35 Case Scenarios & 100+ Figures: 1

Concepts and Principles in Forensic Nursing Practice is a core textbook written and edited by nursing subject experts for the Indian Nursing Council's revised BSc Nursing syllabus, developed in collaboration with the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN). Across 22 chapters, it builds forensic nursing from the ground up: the fundamentals of forensic science and the forensic science laboratory, the composition and responsibilities of the forensic team, and the definition, scope, and evolving practice areas of forensic nursing itself. The book then works through the nurse's role in hospital and community forensic settings, evidence collection, and evidence documentation, packaging, transportation, and preservation, before turning to specialized areas: a psychiatric perspective on forensic nursing, the neurobiology of trauma, and forensic toxicology and pathology. Dedicated chapters address violence, elder abuse, sexual abuse and assault in women, sexual violence against children under the POCSO Act, human trafficking, and body shaming, closing with the Indian Constitution, fundamental rights, the National Human Rights Commission, the Indian legal system, and civil and criminal case procedures. Every chapter carries chapter highlights, an amazing fact box, and a real-life case scenario, and closes with multiple-choice questions with an answer key, short-answer questions, and a bibliography, supported throughout by 100+ figures, illustrations, and tables. Who This Book Is For: BSc Nursing Semester V Students: covers the complete INC-prescribed "Introduction to Forensic Nursing and Indian Laws" course content for the semester in one text. BSc Nursing Students (all years): builds foundational forensic nursing knowledge alongside the core nursing curriculum, from evidence handling to victim care. Nursing Tutors & Educators: structured chapter-by-chapter with highlights, case scenarios, and assessment questions ready for classroom use. Practicing Nurses in Forensic Nursing: serves as a working reference for hospital and community forensic nursing roles, evidence documentation, and legal procedure. Why This Book Helps: Maps directly to the INC syllabus: chapters are organized and updated specifically to the revised BSc Nursing syllabus, so readers study exactly what the course requires. Turns abstract legal material into nursing practice: forensic laws, ethics, the Indian Constitution, and civil/criminal case procedures are explained in relation to the nurse's own responsibilities, not as standalone law content. Builds real evidence-handling skill: dedicated chapters on evidence collection, documentation, packaging, transportation, and preservation walk through the nurse's actual procedural role. Covers the full range of forensic nursing practice settings: separate chapters address the nurse's role in hospital settings and in the community, rather than treating forensic nursing as one generic topic. Reinforces learning through case-based recall: 35 real-life case scenarios and end-of-chapter MCQs with an answer key let students test understanding chapter by chapter. Key Features: 22 chapters across 296 pages spanning forensic science fundamentals through the Indian legal system, built to the revised BSc Nursing syllabus. 35 real-life case scenarios illustrating the application of forensic nursing principles, including landmark cases. 100+ figures, illustrations, and tables supporting every chapter. Developed in collaboration with the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN). MCQs with answer key, short-answer questions, and bibliography at the end of every chapter for self-assessment.
