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.
