Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The mental health background and criminal history of clients may intensify and influence responses from nurses. Negative attitudes toward offenders can inhibit the entire nurseclient relationship and promote underinvolvement in client care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Expressive violence involves interpersonal altercations, usually with people known to the assailant and of similar age, ethnicity, and cultural background. Instrumental violence involves acts that usually are premeditated and motive driven (frequently, economic gain). It usually involves people unknown to one another. A third type of emerging violence is gang violence, which is associated with group membership and committed for retaliation or revenge.
