Answer to Question 1

D
Programs for Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) is a model that provides a full range of medical, psychosocial, and rehabilitation services by a community-based multidisciplinary team. These services operate 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and are responsible for only about 10 to 12 clients. The model presumes that bringing care to the client will more effectively develop needed skills and eliminate problems associated with missed appointments.

Answer to Question 2

C
The priority issue for this prisoner is depression and suicidal risk. Considering that suicide is one of the most important mental health concerns in the prison population, the nurse should request mental health services for the prisoner and initiate close monitoring of the prisoner by staff to prevent suicide.
