Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients in forensic hospitals have mental illness as well as conviction or charges for criminal activity. These settings must be therapeutic but also confine patients from society. Rules, regulations, and restrictions have similarities to prisons.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Correctional nurses provide care for inmates who have disproportionately high rates of mental illness, substance abuse, tuberculosis, AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes, and other chronic disorders and infections. The health problems of inmates are more complex and chronic, not similar to their non-incarcerated peers. Trauma is an important issue that affects inmate health, but it is not the primary health issue for this population as a whole.
