Question

A workshop was conducted for police officials by the American Psychiatric Nurses Association. The nurses discussed the criminal offenses committed by mentally ill patients. Which statement about patients with severe mental illness is appropriate?

Answer 1

The patients despair and become over stressed because of imprisonment

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is not correct because the persons with mental illness will not be found guilty of crime and they are most often not given imprisonments and they are sent for treatment

The people get involved in crime because of their rational thoughts and the delusions and they most often become over stressed only by victimization and hence their physical and their mental health gets affected
