\
of \the \following \areas \might \the \nurse \plan \programs \and \intervention \to \fulfill \employment \expectations?

3. Parenting \classes \for \new \parents
4. Family \and \group \psychotherapy
5. Medication \teaching \for \anti-anxiety \medications
Correct \Answer: \1,3,4,5
Rationale \1: \Stress \management \strategies \address \health, \wellness, \and \care \of \mental \health \problems \and
are \appropriate \for \psychiatricmental \health \nursing \at \the \generalist \level \of \practice.
\
Rationale \2: \Early \diagnosis \of \psychiatric \disorders \is \generally \not \consistent \with \the \definition \or
practice \of \psychiatricmental \health \nursing \especially \at \the \generalist \level.
\
Rationale \3: \Parenting \classes \for \new \parents \provide \teaching \that \is \consistent \with \the \prevention \of
mental \health \problems \and \is \consistent \with \psychiatricmental \health \nursing \at \the \generalist \level \of
\
practice.

\ Type: \MCSA
The \nurse \is \serving \on \a \committee \charged \with \reviewing \the \roles \and \responsibilities \of \the \nurses \on \the
psychiatric \unit. \Which \publication \should \the \nurse \bring \to \the \first \meeting?
\
1. Diagnostic \and \Statistical \Manual \of \Mental \Disorders
2. American \Nurses \Credentialing \Center \certification \requirements
3. American \Nurses \Association, \Code \of \Ethics
4. PsychiatricMental \Health \Nursing \Standards \of \Practice
Correct \Answer: \4
Rationale \1: \The \PsychiatricMental \Health \Nursing \Standards \of \Practice \delineates \psychiatricmental \health
nursing \roles \and \functions \and \serves \as \guidelines \for \providing \quality \care. \The \Diagnostic \and \Statistical
\
\ Manual \of \Mental \Disorders \is \used \by \the \mental \health \care \team, \particularly \the \psychiatrist, \to \diagnose
clients \with \mental \disorders \and \is \not \specific \to \nursing \care \issues. \The \Code \of \Ethics \helps \to \clarify \right
\
and \wrong \actions \by \the \nurse, \but \does \not \clarify \roles \and \nursing \care \actions. \Certification \requirements
\
outline \steps \toward \certification \that \acknowledge \knowledge \and \expertise, \but \do \not \delineate \roles \and
\
responsibilities.
