The forensic nurse assigned to a hostage tactical team serves to assist the team and provide them with clinical information and assessments consistent with the nurse's training and experience. This nurse does not negotiate with the perpetrator or direct actions of police officers. Assistance can include assessing the perpetrator, assisting the freed hostages, educating police officers on mental health-related topics, assessing the stress level of the negotiator, suggesting techniques that might be appropriate (particularly when the perpetrator is mentally ill), and serving as a go-between with local mental health agencies.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C
When compared to the rates in the general population (11 of whom have a mental health problem, with approximately 55,000 individuals hospitalized at an inpatient psychiatric hospital on any given day), correctional facilities carry a disproportionate share of the burden for the provision of mental health services. Rates of chronic illness are higher among inmates than in the general population due to factors such as higher rates of poverty, lower educational status, higher rates of trauma, institutional living when incarcerated, reduced access to health care, poor health habits, and higher rates of high-risk behaviors such as IV drug abuse. Correctional settings provide adequate care of inmates, but it is rarely holistic or comprehensive.
