the need for awareness of the increased vulnerability and exposure patients endure when professionals are providing routine medical care to survivors when using seemingly benign equipment, medical devices, and advanced technological techniques.
how medical care is conducted can contribute to structural barriers to equitable care and impact future health outcomes, and exploring the ways Forensic Nurses can play a role in breaking down these barriers.
the benefits of practicing nursing care proactively, rather than reactively, by utilizing a trauma informed approach and anticipating the risks of re-traumatization when using medical devices during exams by implementing a plan for prevention.
