Question 1 of 5
A nurse is orienting to a new position working the infirmary in the state penitentiary. When working with prisoners who are also mentally ill, the nurse examines her own attitudes. Which of the following beliefs should the nurse discuss with her supervisor before caring for incarcerated patients?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Although it is true that people with major mental illnesses who do not take prescribed medication are at increased risk for being violent, most people with mental illness do not represent a significant danger to others. Criminalization of mental illness refers to the practice of arresting and prosecuting mentally ill offenders, even for misdemeanors, at a rate four times that of the general population in an effort to contain them in some type of institution where they might receive needed treatment. People with a mental illness are more likely to be the victims of violence, both in prisons and in the community.
