Chapter 01: Me, Meds, Milieu
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A newly licensed nurse a
sks a nursing recruiter for a description of nursing practice in the psychiatric setting. What is
the nurse recruiter‘s best response?
a. The nurse primarily serves in a supportive role to members of the health care delivery
team.
b. The multidisciplinary approach eliminates the need to clearly define the responsibilities
of nursing in such a setting.
c. Nursing actions are identified by the institution that distinguishes nursing from other
mental health professions.
d. Nursing offers unique contributions to the psychotherapeutic management of
psychiatric patients.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique in its focus on and
application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor the multidisciplinary
team define the professional responsibilities of its members but rather utilizes their unique
skills to provide holistic care. Ideally, all team members support each other and have functions
within the team.

Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment




2. Which component of the nursing process will the nurse focus upon to address the
responsibility to match individual patient needs with appropriate services?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Implementation
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Proper assessment is critical for being able to determine the appropriate level of services that
will provide optimal care while considering patient input and at the lowest cost. Planning and
implementation utilizes the assessment data to identify and execute actions (treatment plan)
that will provide appropriate care. Evaluation validates the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
