2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses “lose all their
clinical nursingskills.” Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties.
Nurse-to-client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients’
problems.”
b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical
thinkingto solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those
situations.”

technologymonitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous
therapies.”
d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and
suffering asmedical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.”
ANS: B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–

settings have increased, just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves
clinical practice, not just documentation.
Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.
