ANSWER: f b B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–

surgical nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help

clients with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective thes
fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb
e nurses must have. Nurse–
fb fb fb fb
client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like other specialties.
