We calculate the cross section for polarized-proton-nucleus non-spin-flip (↑↑) and spin-flip (↓↑) inelastic scattering where the polarization is perpendicular to the scattering plane. This cross section is compared with that of unpolarized-electron-nucleus scattering. We note that, in the plane-wave impulse approximation, the non-spin-flip squared form factor is essentially the same, apart from a factor of $q^2$, as one obtained in unpolarized-electron-nucleus scattering in which only the spin terms are kept and the convection terms dropped. But the spin-flip squared form factor is different.
