What should jail officers avoid doing with inmates who have heart diseases?

Jail officers should avoid prescribing medicine to inmates who have heart diseases because they are not qualified medical professionals authorized to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Medical treatment, including the prescription of medication, should be handled by licensed healthcare providers who have the expertise to evaluate the inmate's health condition properly and make informed decisions regarding medication.

Inmates with heart diseases have specific needs that require careful medical attention, including the consideration of potential drug interactions, side effects, and the overall management of their condition, which is outside the jurisdiction and training of jail officers. This ensures not only the safety and well-being of the inmate but also accountability and adherence to legal and ethical standards regarding medical care in correctional facilities.
