Forensic science is efficient in applying technical and scientific nursing skills, addressing multiple contexts of violence. It is the duty of the forensic nurse: to check for episodes of violence; keep the victim safe, with or without life; collect and preserve traces and perform a thorough physical examination. Methodology: This is a scoping review. Results: The search in the databases resulted in 12,207 articles, of which 396 were from MEDLINE, 05 from LILACS, Google scholar 11,801 and 05 from SCIELO. After full reading, only 13 articles were selected. As inclusion criteria, manuals, protocols and articles were used that address forensic procedures performed in the emergency environment. Those documents that discuss the performance of other professionals were excluded; in languages other than Portuguese, English and Spanish. The period of coverage of the documents was between 2001 and 2020. Discussion: The performance of nursing is not limited only to exams and capture of traces, but also to the assistance of recorded people, in any form of negligence and violence; in legal and criminal situations. Conclusion: Forensic nursing is of great importance in the emergency, since the nurse is the first to establish contact with the victim (or suspect) of a certain crime.
