A health restoration intervention the nurse can implement at a correctional setting is advocacy for:
1. Long-term care for inmates when discharged.
2. Effective prerelease planning for all inmates.
3. Medical parole and arrange for follow-up care.
4. Use of advance directives when discharged.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Reentry into society for inmates should include planning prerelease so that the inmate is capable of reentering society with a minimum amount of difficulty. If the inmate has health problems, it is important that the public health be protected and the inmate receives sufficient health services upon reentry. Long-term care addresses those inmates who will spend almost all or all their lives incarcerated. Medical parole and advance directives address end-of-life planning.
