MULTIPLE |CHOICE

the|nurse |expect |as |an |advanced |practice |intervention?
|
a. Conduct |mental |health |assessments
b. Prescribe |psychotropic |medication
c. Establish |therapeutic |relationships
d. Individualize |nursing |care |plans
ANSWER: | B
Prescriptive |privileges |are |granted |to |master’s-prepared |nurse |practitioners |who |have
|taken |special |courses |on |prescribing |medication; |thus |it |is |an |advanced-practice
|intervention. |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,” |which |of |the |following |is |the |best |response |by |the |mental |health
|nurse?
a. “Psychiatric |nurses |practise |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. “That’s |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.”
ANSWER: | B
The |practice |of |psychiatric |nursing |requires |a |different |set |of |skills |from |medical–surgical
|nursing, |though |there |is |substantial |overlap. |Two |domains |relate |specifically |to
|psychiatric |nursing: |behavioural, |including |communication, |coping, |and |education; |and
|safety, |covering|crisis |and |risk |management. |Basic |psychosocial |nursing |concepts |are
|central |to |psychiatric |nursing |practice |and |increase |your |competency |as |a |practitioner |in
|all |clinical |settings.
Whatever |setting |you |choose |to |work |in, |you |will |have |the |opportunity |to |improve |the
|lives |of|people |who |are |experiencing |mental |illness |as |an |additional |challenge |to |their
|health.
Your |experience |in |the |mental |health |nursing |rotation |can |help |you |gain |insight |into
|yourself |and |greatly |increase |your |insight |into |the |experiences |of |others. |This |part |of
, |nursing |education|can |provide |guidelines |for |and |the |opportunity |to |learn |new |skills |for
|dealing |with |a |variety |of|challenging |behaviours. |Psychosocial |pain |and |suffering |are |as |real
|as |physical |pain |and |suffering.
