Operating within the confines of various imprisonment facilities, correctional nurses perform many of the same tasks as nursing professionals who work in traditional medical establishments. They aim to provide adequate health care by assessing, diagnosing, and treating inmates. Correctional nurses may have more independence than other nursing specialists since the work environment leads to a smaller staff. Accessibility to fewer supplies also encourages correctional nurses to hone their assessment skills.

Medication Administration:

Because many medications, even over-the-counter preparations, can be misused in the correctional environment, these medications must be administered individually through a medication pass or pill line process. Several times daily the inmate population requiring medication doses report to a nurse for administration. This may be centralized in the medical unit or decentralized with nursing staff administering medication in the housing unit.

Chronic Care Clinic:

Inmates are scheduled for regular appointments in the medical unit to manage chronic conditions such as hypertension, asthma, and arthritis. In addition, chronic care clinic visits might be scheduled to attend to infectious processes or pregnancy management. Although a chronic care visit involves contact with a physician or advanced practitioner, correctional forensic nurses provide key elements of chronic care management including patient education and medication compliance review.
