Answer to Question 1

C
The case manager would be most likely to oversee the client's treatment plan. Case managers, a position often held by nurses, help persons who are seriously mentally ill to build skills and access supports so they can function as independently as possible.

Answer to Question 2

C
The American Nurses Association has developed standards of practice that act as a guide for nurses working in correctional facilities. One of the key declarations of this set of standards of practice is that ensuring inmates' human rights is of major importance. Nurses are to apply the nursing process to perform assessments, make nursing diagnoses, and develop plans for follow-up care based on identifying outcomes.
