Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Forensic psychiatric nursing occurs in various secure environments, which may belong to the mental health system, criminal justice system, or both. The continuum of controlled environments includes community-based outpatient clinics, secure units in general hospitals, state psychiatric hospitals, forensic psychiatric hospitals, and custodial-type settings (eg, young-offender facilities, jails, prisons).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Therapeutic rapport is the foundation for providing appropriate psychiatric home care nursing services. Contracts are unlikely necessary and boundary violations are not usually a high priority. The nurse should not aim to project an air of authority over the client.
