Answer to Question 1

C
Medical coercion may be necessary in certain situations. These situations include incapacity to make decision and making decisions that could result in harm to self or harm to others in the ab-sence of interventions. For instance, mentally ill inmates may be medically coerced to take psy-chotropic medications against their will if the mental disorder is serious, the inmate is dangerous to himself, and the medication prescribed is in the inmate's best medical interest. Schizophrenia is the diagnosis most likely to require medical coercion.

Answer to Question 2

D
Practice arenas for forensic nurses include health care facilities such as private clinics and emer-gency departments, criminal justice centers for victims of crime, medical examiner offices, police departments, correctional facilities, and mental health centers.
