  • A “criminal minds” individual will be your “patient” from the list below for your project.

  • Any substance abuse, addiction or violence issues surrounding this mental health problem. 
  • List appropriate nursing interventions for your chosen patient. Include sources for evidence-based practice. What might have made the difference between functional mental illness to the progression to criminal behavior.
