  c. develop feelings of being in control.
  d. make decisions about life activities.

Question 2

A staff member at the mental hospital asks the psychiatric forensic nurse who is working with a
  defendant as a competency therapist Why are you spending so much time with that guy? You spend
  one-to-one time with him and even go to activities
 
  with him. And I have seen you writing volumes.
  Usually we just give these people medication for a while, then return them to the court.. The best
  reply for the nurse would be
  a. My role is to become an advocate for the defendant, so I have to know him
  well..
  b. The specialized assessments I make on behalf of the court require lengthy
  interviews..
  c. My focus is providing intensive psychotherapy to ensure the defendant's
  competency when he returns to court..
  d. I spend time observing, assessing, and documenting to determine the defendant's
  competency, write a report, and provide expert witness testimony in court.

Answer to Question 1

A
Resuming optimal functioning is an achievable, comprehensive, long-term outcome; the other
statements are short-term indicators.

Answer to Question 2

D
Option D best explains the need for the competency therapist to spend large amounts of time with
the defendant. The competency therapist collects evidence by spending many hours with a defendant
and carefully documenting the dialogue. A complete formal report is prepared for the court and, in
addition, the competency therapist may provide expert witness testimony. Option B: This response is
more nonspecific than option D. Option A: The role of the competency therapist is to advocate for
the judicial process, not the defendant. Option C: The psychiatric forensic nurse working as a
competency therapist does not provide psychotherapy for the defendant.
