Answer to Question 1

C
The most appropriate diagnosis at this time would be one of social isolation. Social isolation is one of several diagnoses that are fairly common among inmates. The nurse bases this diagnosis on the assessment the nurse made of the client. This assessment may not be limited to just what the client tells her, but can also include additional resources (perhaps, in this case, checking the visitor logs to see that the client has not received visitors in over a year).

Answer to Question 2

C
Reimbursement mechanisms that favor cost containment are influencing the patterns of service delivery in community mental health. Capitation is increasingly evident in the general health sector. Capitation is an example of a prospective payment system.
