A
Review of the First Five Manuals in the Series
"Forensic
Medical Investigation is a five volume series of manuals and an
intelligent body of work from a widely respected medical examiner and
pioneer in forensic nursing education. Dudley
[served] as chief medical examiner/district coroner for the
Sedgwick County (Kansas) Regional Forensic Science Center. A
Comprehensive Review was written for beginners and experienced
practitioner alike and covers an introduction to forensic science,
injury patterns, natural disease, accidental trauma, child fatality and
domestic violence. Introduction to Pathology, co-written
with Tomas Taggart, Ed.D., LELFID, director of the mortuary science
program at Mesa Community College, lays the foundation of general and
systematic pathology before delving into forensic pathology and mass
fatalities. Forensic Protocols is a hand reference manual
that compiles sample forms to report everything from a hospital death,
MVA, sexual assault or homicide. Forensic Case Studies and Certification
Exam Questionnaire are helpful study aides for investigators seeking
credentials. Taken separately or as a set, Dudley's texts are
informative without being exhaustive; the right breadth and depth for
busy professionals needing reliable information."

A Review of Forensic
Nursing
Forensic Nursing is the latest
in the seven-volume Forensic Medical Investigation series of soft cover
manuals penned by the forensic pathologist responsible for creating the
first forensic medical investigation course in the U.S. in 1996.
Dudley’s nursing and medical background and comprehensive grasp of the
interlinking issues of both disciplines is evident in this body of work
that should serve as one of the essential tools in the toolkit of a
fledgling forensic nurse in particular. While serving as an excellent
basic roadmap for the forensic nurse, it is an important book for law
enforcement, forensic scientists, medical examiners and prosecutors to
better understand the complexities of forensic nursing and the
contributions it makes to the medico-legal process.
