Abstract

Nursing ethics in forensic settings involves a delicate balance between patient care and legal responsibilities. Forensic nurses are tasked with providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to individuals involved in the criminal justice system, while simultaneously fulfilling their role in the collection and documentation of forensic evidence. This dual role raises several ethical challenges, including issues of confidentiality, informed consent, the potential conflict between healthcare duties and legal obligations, and the need for cultural sensitivity. This short communication explores key ethical principles in forensic nursing, addresses the challenges forensic nurses face, and highlights the importance of clear ethical guidelines and specialized training for healthcare professionals working in forensic environments
