Understanding the Female Genital Reproductive Organs and that Amazing Cervix
Diana Faugno, MSN, RN, CPN, AFN-C, IVSE-C, SANE-A, SANE-P, FAAFS, DF-AFN
Valerie Sievers, MSN, RN, APN, CNS, AFN-C, IVSE-C, DF-AFN
Forensic nurses should be able to accurately assess the female reproductive anatomy, including variations in the appearance of the cervix, and describe appropriate speculum use during medical-forensic exams. Learners will learn about normal anatomical variants of the female reproductive system, including the cervix, to distinguish normal findings from potential injury or pathology, and better understand speculum use in forensic exams.
