Inmates who are admitted to a long-term correctional facility should be:
1. Tested for hepatitis B.
2. Screened for mental health problems.
3. Assessed for HIV symptomatology.
4. Screened and tested for tuberculosis (TB).
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is highest in correctional facilities, and multi-drug resistant TB occurs in some facilities. TB assessment and screening should be done on all inmates, because the conditions of overcrowding, overall poor health status of some inmates, and the failure to complete the full course of treatment can contribute to spreading the disease among the unaffected population. Inmates do not need to be tested for hepatitis B, HIV symptomatology, or screened for mental health problems unless there are background indicators present.
