Abstract

Effective nursing documentation is paramount across forensic and correctional healthcare. It addresses challenges in intimate partner violence and sexual assault cases, ensures legal defensibility in high-stakes environments, and supports ethical care for vulnerable populations. Comprehensive records are vital for accountability, continuity of care, risk management, and the implementation of Evidence-Based Practice. The use of Electronic Health Records can enhance efficiency, though challenges remain. Meticulous documentation ultimately underpins professional standards, legal compliance, and promotes better health outcomes, particularly for individuals transitioning from incarceration.
