Answer to Question 1

B
The forensic nurse assigned to a tactical team may suggest negotiation techniques to the negotiator
based on assessments the nurse makes regarding behaviors of the perpetrator, understanding of
principles of effective communication, understanding of cultural factors, and the ability to think
clearly under stress. Option A: The nurse has no authority to direct the operation, only to advise.
Option C: This assessment is more relevant to the determination of the client's ability to assist with
his own court defense. Option D: Criminal profiling would not be a priority role.
