m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




ANS: B m,u




The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–surgical
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help patients with
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nurses must
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in psychiatricsettings have increased, just like other
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m
,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just documentation. Psychosocial
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.

3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons diagnosed with
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




mental illness, a group of nurses write letters to their elected representatives in opposition to the
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




a. Recovery
b. Attending
c. Advocacy
d. Evidence-based practice m,u




ANS: C m,u




An advocate defends or asserts another‘s cause, particularly when the other person lacks the
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping patients understand
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




their rights or make decisions. On a communityscale, advocacy includes political activity, public
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u ,u
m m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the human condition.
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




Since funding is necessary to deliver qualityprogramming for persons with mental illness, the
m,u m,u m,u m
,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




letter-writing campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of patients who are unable to
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




articulate their own needs.

m,u m
,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




member‘s comment best reflects a mentally healthy perspective?
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




a. ―I‘vemade mistakes but everyone else in this familyhas also.‖ m

,u m,u m

ANS: C m,u




The correct response demonstrates the best evidence of a healthy recognition of the importance
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




of relationships. Mental health includes rational thinking, communication skills, learning,
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




emotional growth, resilience, and self-esteem. Recalling joy from earlier in life may be healthy,
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




but the correct response shows a higher level of mental health. The other incorrect responses show
m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u m,u




blaming and avoidance.
