Abstract
Preservation of forensic evidence is a critical element of emergency department nursing. Two major objectives of forensic evidence collection are preservation (preventing degradation and contamination) and maintaining the chain of custody. Bullets and other metal fragments should be handled in a manner that prevents chipping or scratching, which includes using padded equipment for handling and storage. When managing a trauma patient, 2 sheets should be placed on the floor of the hospital room instead of 1 sheet.
