Abstract

Post-mortem examination, commonly known as autopsy, plays a crucial role in determining the cause of death and is an essential process in forensic investigations. While traditionally associated with pathologists and forensic experts, nursing professionals also have a significant role in post-mortem care. Nurses working in forensic settings, particularly in roles that intersect with law enforcement, hospitals, or medical examiners' offices, must be well-versed in the procedures and ethical considerations surrounding post-mortem examinations. This article explores the role of nursing in post-mortem examination processes, highlighting the responsibilities of nurses in forensic care, the ethical challenges they may encounter, and the critical skills required to support both the deceased and their families in this sensitive process. Furthermore, it discusses the integration of nursing knowledge in post-mortem examinations, emphasizing trauma-informed care, professionalism, and the intersection of healthcare and law.
