ANSWER: B f 4
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-prepared nurse practitioners and
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
clinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The nurse
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4

2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses “lose all their clinical nursing
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
skills.” Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to- f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients’ problems.”
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinkingto f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
f4 solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.”
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
c. “That’s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.”
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
medical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.”
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
ANSWER: f 4 B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–surgical nursing,
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
f4 though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help clients with medical
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
f4 as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nursesmust have.
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
