The recently updated (2008) guidelines provide a framework to obtain a standardized minimum body of knowledge on the adult, adolescent, and pediatric patient and serve as a cornerstone for the specialized education of forensic nurses who will practice as sexual assault nurse examiners.

This one volume guide articulates the essentials of this specialty, its accountabilities and activities - the who, what, when, where, and how of its practice, for both specialists and generalists and those who work with them. The standards themselves - six for nursing practice and nine for nursing professional performance - are those by which all nurses in this specialty practice. Each standard is made more specific and usable by its set of measurement criteria, filling out the delineation of the perspectives and priorities of forensic nursing.

A primary goal of the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) Forensic Nurse Death Investigator Council is to establish education guidelines for those nurses practicing in the subspecialty as an FNDI. These education guidelines assist the practitioner in meeting the forensic needs of individuals served by the medical/coroner system.  The guidelines also serve as the foundation for consistent and comprehensive FNDI education programs.
