Answer to Question 1

ANS: 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 com-munity. 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 popula-tion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Depression between men and women is recognized differently in the community. More women than men are classified as having depression. Men with depression often go unrecognized and underreported. Men tend to be stoic and do not verbalize how they feel, are reluctant to talk about health issues, and often do not have positive relationship with their health care provider. Recognition is key in order to get those with depression the necessary services that they need. Once depression has been detected, these individuals can be referred to the appropriate re-sources. Health policy changes and the understanding of free clinics would not provide the most immediate solution to the community.
