Ensuring that the facility has adequate nutrition for its inmates, providing opportunities for rest and exercise, and controlling communicable diseases address:
1. The individual inmate's health.
2. Protecting the health of the whole rather than enhancing the health of the one.
3. Aspects of advocacy for the nurse in the correctional setting.
4. Needed aspects of care for a predominantly female inmate population.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. The general purpose of health promotion in a correctional setting is to protect the health of the correctional population rather than enhancing the health of the particular inmate. Promoting health may require the nurse to have an advocacy role. Adequate nutrition, rest and exercise, and control of communicable diseases are all health promotion activities that address the whole. While female inmates have some unique health needs, the above activities address both male and female inmates. The population in correctional facilities is not predominantly female.
