Answer to Question 1

D
Residential programs and therapeutic communities have as goals complete change in lifestyle,
abstinence from drugs, elimination of criminal behaviors, development of employable skills,
self-reliance, and honesty. Residential programs have been found to be more effective for clients
with antisocial tendencies than outpatient programs.

Answer to Question 2

D
A psychiatric forensic nurse assisting with hostage negotiation remains objective. His or her
allegiance is to the process of hostage negotiation, rather than the individual. The community mental
health nurse role calls for the nurse to be a client advocate. Option A: In all probability, each would
be prepared at the master's level. Option B: This is not a valid distinction. Option C: The opposite is
true.
