Question 2
In addition to facing the stigma associated with being mentally ill, forensic patients who are mentally ill also experience stigma associated with being a criminal. A nurse is explaining this stigma to a nursing class.
A student asks the nurse how the stigma associated with criminality might influence nursing care. The nurse's best answer would be:
A) Nurses may be reluctant to care for mentally ill criminals because of unrealistic fears for their own safety and that of their other clients.
B) Nurses may prefer to care for forensic clients because they do not believe criminals can be mentally ill.
C) An example would be volunteering to work only with forensic clients because of the belief that forensic clients experience only mild mental health problems.
D) An example would be unfounded fear of what such clients might do once they are discharged from treatment.
