A nurse is working with incarcerated adults who are being released from prison. Which of the following nursing interventions would be most appropriate to implement?
a. Connect offenders with community-based mental health programs
b. Provide community supervision for men-tally ill offenders
c. Advocate for increased prison time to de-crease recidivism rates
d. Educate about available state resources
ANS: A
Connecting offenders with community-based mental health programs at the time of release from prison can decrease recidivism rates, as many incarcerated adults experience major psychiatric disorders. It would be impossible for the nurse to supervise all mentally ill offenders in the com-munity. Increased prison time is not shown to decrease recidivism rates and education about available state resources is not the most important nursing intervention to provide for this popula-tion.
