MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A staff nurse completes orientation to a psychiatric unit. This nurse may
expect an advanced practice nurse to perform which additional intervention?
a. Conduct mental health assessments. c. Establish therapeutic
relationships.
b. Prescribe psychotropic medication.d. Individualize nursing care
, plans.
ANS: B
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to masters-prepared nurse
practitioners who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The
nurse prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health
assessments, establish relationships, and provide individualized care
planning.

2. When a nursing student expresses concerns about how mental health
nurses lose all their nursing skills, the best response by the mental health
nurse is:
a. Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties.
Nurse-to-patient ratios must be better because of the nature of the patients
problems.
b. Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical
thinking to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those
situations.
c. Thats a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high
technology monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous
therapies.
d. Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering
as medical-surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.
ANS: 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 patients with medical as well as mental health
problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nurses must have. Nurse-
patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric 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.
