The correctional mental health nurse assesses a new prisoner who is beginning his incarceration for
  committing a sex crime.
 
  The prisoner speaks in a low voice, is tearful, and tells the nurse that his life
  may as well be over as there is no hope that he will ever be able to fit into society after he is released
  from prison. He states his family has disowned him and that wherever he goes his reputation will
  follow him. The priority intervention would be to
  a. arrange to meet with him weekly to discuss feelings.
  b. offer to contact his family to speak of his remorse.
  c. advise the guards to place him in solitary confinement.
  d. arrange to implement suicide precautions.
