Nurses must recognize that every battered woman is a crime victim. Battered woman are also frequently sexually assaulted and raped by their boyfriends or husbands. All states have criminal sexual assault statutes; approximately 40 states have marital rape statutes (Sheridan, 1993, p. 36). Few nurses have received any formal training in the principles of clinical forensic medicine and clinical forensic nursing. Many nurses have had to go outside of nursing to learn forensic nursing skills. However as more nurses enter clinical forensic nursing roles, the necessity of formal education becomes increasingly important (Sheridan, 1993, p. 36).
