Violence has been identified as one of the leading public health hazards of our time. The majority of the victims of violence are being seen in emergency departments and critical care areas. This compels today's nurse to be educated in the proper recognition, interpretation, collection, documentation, and photo-documentation of the ramifications of violence and the associated forensic evidence. The categorization of these patients should be determined by the critical care nurse. Categorical determinations will ensure that the nurse develops a systematic, algorithmic management plan for any client with potential forensic implications associated with their care. It will also assist the nurse in recognizing the mandated reporting that must be completed in certain instances. The additional benefit is to determine what educational needs are required by the critical care nurse staff to posit the forensic population; and, to consider what future research must be accomplished in order to better serve this unique clientele.
暴力已被确认为我们这个时代主要的公共卫生危害之一。大多数暴力受害者在急诊科和重症监护区就诊。这就迫使当今的护士要接受相关教育，以便正确识别、解读、收集、记录暴力后果及相关法医证据，并进行拍照记录。这些患者的分类应由重症监护护士来决定。分类决定将确保护士为任何因护理而具有潜在法医意义的患者制定系统的、按算法的管理计划。这也将帮助护士识别在某些情况下必须完成的强制报告。额外的好处是确定重症监护护士人员为处理法医相关人群需要哪些教育需求；并考虑为了更好地服务这一独特患者群体未来必须完成哪些研究。
