If you need to submit an inmate's sick note, where should it be sent?

• A. Security
• B. Medical
• C. Records
• D. Housing

Answer: (B)

The medical department is the place for a sick note because it is a medical document that updates the inmate’s health record and coordinates care. Sending it there ensures the health staff can review the note, log it in the inmate’s medical file, and use it to manage medical needs or any required time off. Security handles safety and access control, Records deals with administrative files, and Housing handles living arrangements, so none of those departments is the correct recipient for health-related documentation.
