K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



thenurse expect as an advanced practice intervention?

a. Conduct mental health assessments K4 K4 K4



b. Prescribe psychotropic medication K4 K4



c. Establish therapeutic relationships K4 K4



d. Individualize nursing care plans K4 K4 K4




ANSWER: B K4



Prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-prepared nurse practitioners who have
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



taken special courses on prescribing medication; thus it is an advanced-practice
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



intervention. The nurse prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4

theirnursing skills,” which of the following is the best response by the mental health
K4 4

nurse?
K4



a. “Psychiatric nurses practise in safer environments than other K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



specialties. Nurse-to-patient ratios must be better because of the
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



nature of the patients’
K4 K4 K4 K4



problems. .
”
b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



thinkingto solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those
K4 4
K K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



situations.”
K4



c. “That’s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high-
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



technologymonitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous 4
K K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



therapies.”K4



d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



suffering asmedical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.”

ANSWER: B K4



The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills from medical–surgical
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Two domains relate specifically to
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



psychiatric nursing: behavioural, including communication, coping, and education; and
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



safety, coveringcrisis and risk management. Basic psychosocial nursing concepts are
K4 K4 4
K K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



central to psychiatric nursing practice and increase your competency as a practitioner in
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



all clinical settings.
K4 K4 K4



Whatever setting you choose to work in, you will have the opportunity to improve the
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



lives ofpeople who are experiencing mental illness as an additional challenge to their
K4 K4 4
K K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



health.
K4



Your experience in the mental health nursing rotation can help you gain insight into
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4



yourself and greatly increase your insight into the experiences of others. This part of
K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4 K4
