Inmates can develop terminal illnesses while incarcerated and medical parole may not be indicated. Health restoration interventions for this population include:
1. Assistance from a personal care attendant.
2. Monitor for adverse effects of treatment.
3. Provide emotional and spiritual support.
4. Monitor treatment compliance.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. As with all end-of-life care, inmates need the emotional and spiritual support as their terminal illness progresses. Assistance from a personal care attendant, and monitoring treatment compliance and adverse effects reflect the long-term care planning aspect of tertiary care, not end-of-life care.
