Mental Health Nursing: A Clinical Approach, 9th Edition
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI




MULTIPLE CHOICE UI




1. The scope of practiced for an advanced nurse practitioner would include which intervention?
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



a. Conducting a mental health assessment. UI UI UI UI



b. Prescribing psychotropic medication. UI UI



c. Establishing a therapeutic relationship. UI UI UI



d. Individualizing a nursing care plan. UI UI UI UI




ANSWER: B UI



In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



prepared nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses o
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



n prescribing medication. The nurse prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform me
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



ntal health assessments, establish relationships, and provide individualized care planning.

2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses “lose all their clinical nur
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



sing skills.” Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



to- client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients’ problems.”
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinki
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



ng to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.”
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



c. “That’s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technolo
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



gy monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.”
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and sufferin
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



g as medical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.”
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI




ANSWER: U I B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



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



lp clients with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspectiv
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



e these nurses must have. Nurse–
UI UI UI UI UI



client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like other specialtie
UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI UI



s. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just documentation.
