Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. As female incarceration rates rise, their health needs must be considered. Asking the date of the last menstrual period will give an indication of whether or not the female inmate is pregnant, as this poses special health concerns in a correctional facility. Asking for a gynecologic history is important as well as the date of their last mammogram, but this assumes that female inmates have had regular access to these health services, which may not be the case. Asking for the names of their children assumes that all female inmates are mothers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The advanced practice role of nurses in correctional facilities goes beyond the basic role in the ability to formulate health care policy and evaluate the effectiveness of the facility's health care program. Providing care to inmates, treating disease and injuries, and counseling about health promotion are all activities of basic nursing practice in correctional facilities.
