Answer to Question 1

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

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Forensic nurses collaborate with corrections officers and law enforcement, epidemiologists, emergency department providers, psychiatric practitioners, and public health nurses.
