The psychiatric forensic nurse describes her work as follows: I apply my knowledge of
  psychopathology as I investigate and reconstruct the crime and attempt to understand the criminal's

Answer to Question 1

D
Criminal profilers attempt to provide law enforcement with specific information and the type of
individual who would have committed a certain crime. Profilers use behavioral and psychological
indicators left at violent crime scenes and apply their understanding of psychopathology, attempt to
reconstruct the crime, formulate hypotheses, and develop a profile, which is then tested against
known data. The other options refer to roles the psychiatric forensic nurse may fill, but none of these
roles fits the description given in the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

C
Group roles refer to the parts various members play within the group. The client was acting as an
information giver as she explained facts about a psychosocial club to the group as part of a
discussion of aftercare. Harmonizers mediate conflicts. Evaluators measure group work against a
standard. The procedural technician role is to assist by taking on tasks such as arranging chairs or
passing out papers.
