Answer to Question 1

D
Correctional nurses advocate for inmates regarding needed care. The psychiatric forensic nurse
remains objective, neutral, and detached in his or her relationship with the defendant, advocating
instead for the judicial process. Option A: Both correctional nurses and psychiatric forensic nurses
may engage in teaching. Option B: The forensic nurse may function as examiner and or investigator,
roles not usually assumed by the correctional nurse.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Rationale: Option A prevents injury to staff and the client. Option B: Only one person should
explain what will happen and direct the client. This may be the nurse or a staff member with a good
relationship with the client. Option E is essential because those restraining a limb cannot use keys,
move furniture, or open doors. The nurse is usually responsible for administering medication once
the client has been restrained. Option C: Each staff member should have an assigned limb rather than
just grabbing the closest. This system could leave one or two limbs unrestrained. Option D:
Approaching in full view of the client reduces suspicion.
