This seminar highlights the real-world challenges correctional nurses face when caring for individuals with complex comorbid physiological and psychological conditions. Using a 21-week pregnant patient who declines medical treatment as a case study, participants will explore how collaborative, multidisciplinary strategies can address the complex intersection of maternal health, mental illness, and incarceration. The session will
examine perspectives on care, evidence-based nursing approaches during screening and assessment, and the ethical and legal responsibilities that can inform meaningful policy reform. 3.5 CE hours.
