The International Association of Forensic Nurses explains that forensic nursing is the practice of nursing where the health and legal systems intersect (ANA, 2009). Thus, the forensic nurse's role provides a vital link between the health care system, the investigative process, and courts of law (Lynch, 2011). Officers of the court and police officers would be two key populations with whom the nurse would interact. The nurse would be less likely to interact with case managers, physicians, psychologists, and social workers.
