Answer to Question 1

C
Permitting is a process by which the government places limits on the amount of pollution emitted into the air or water.

Answer to Question 2

A
Connecting offenders with community-based mental health programs at the time of release from prison can decrease recidivism rates, as many incarcerated adults experience major psychiatric disorders. It would be impossible for the nurse to supervise all mentally ill offenders in the community. Increased prison time is not shown to decrease recidivism rates and education about available state resources is not the most important nursing intervention to provide for this popu-lation.
