Answer to Question 1

A
A prisoner displaying these symptoms is most likely withdrawing from cocaine. Cocaine withdrawal does not normally have the strong physical symptoms, such as vomiting, that occur during heroin or alcohol withdrawal. Nevertheless, the nurse should be especially aware of the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal, particularly the suicidal ideation and depression, as these pose an increased risk of attempted or completed suicide. Providing mental health treatment to suicidal inmates poses some of the greatest challenges to nurses working in correctional facilities.

Answer to Question 2

C
Case managers are able to make appointments for clients with vocational counselors, as part of their role to provide linkage with needed services. Other activities that form the core of case management include identification and outreach, assessment, service planning, monitoring service delivery, and advocacy.
