Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D, E, F
Rationale: All the options should be assessed. Each pertains to biological and safety needs of the
client. Nurses must follow hospital protocol for care. Generally, clients should be observed for level
of consciousness at 15-minute intervals, given food at normal meal times or more often if they are
hyperactive, given fluids hourly, have vital signs taken at 4-hour intervals or less if medication
administration has caused hypotension, taken to the bathroom every 2 hours, and released from
restraint and given range of motion every 2 hours.

Answer to Question 2

B
Correctional nurses provide care for inmates who have disproportionately high rates of tuberculosis,
AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. Option A: The health problems of inmates are
more complex. Option C: Inmates have higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases, diabetes, and
HIV than the nonincarcerated population. Option D: Most health problems of inmates are more
complex than this description implies.
