  B) Refer her to a clinical psychologist on her release.
  C) Consult the multidisciplinary team for approval and advocate for changes in the funding structures.
  D) Encourage her to express her feelings of dependency when addressing acute care physical needs.

Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Defining and delineating the problems experienced by many clients in the forensic setting is one way to target resources while providing a comprehensive health-promotion program. Women offenders in particular are interested in their own health, and a discussion about contraception and birth control can be an opportunity to express feelings related to abuse, powerlessness, or social awkwardness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Recurring themes of power and control, negotiation, and trust building dominate therapeutic interventions in this setting; clients have, in varying degrees, learned to adapt to an environment that rewards distrust, manipulation, and deceit. The criminal history, the frequent diagnoses of antisocial and borderline personality disorder, and the aggressive interpersonal style of many forensic clients can evoke strong emotional responses, and countertransference and splitting reactions are common.
