Chapter 1: The Nurse Psychotherapist and a Framework for Practice
Question 1. The nurse psychotherapist's new job description at the
generalist level of practice reflects the definition of psychiatric-mental
health nursing and the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Standards of
Practice. Which of the following best describes the advanced practice
psychiatric nurse's scope of practice?
,A. Administering psychotropic medications and conducting physical
health assessments only
B. Delivering evidence-based psychotherapy within a holistic, nursing
framework
C. Providing psychoeducation and counseling at the community health
level only
D. Coordinating interdisciplinary care and managing psychiatric
emergencies exclusively
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The advanced practice psychiatric nurse's scope includes
providing evidence-based psychotherapy using a nursing theoretical
foundation . While medication management and coordination of care
are components of practice, the core advanced practice role in
psychotherapy involves delivering evidence-based psychotherapeutic
interventions within a holistic framework. Option A is too narrow and
excludes the psychotherapy role. Option C describes generalist-level
practice. Option D excludes direct psychotherapy delivery.
Question 2. A novice nurse psychotherapist describes feeling angry
toward a client who frequently misses sessions. According to Wheeler's
, recommended professional development framework, which
supervisory action best supports therapist competence and client care?
A. Tell the supervisee to avoid clients who are difficult
B. Encourage exploration of countertransference, provide skills
coaching for setting limits, and model reflective practice
C. Dismiss the supervisee's feelings as irrelevant to therapy
D. Advise immediate termination of the client to reduce stress
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Supervision that addresses countertransference, skill
development, and reflection builds competence and aligns with
Wheeler's model of ongoing professional growth . Exploring the
therapist's emotional reactions (countertransference) is essential for
maintaining therapeutic effectiveness. Option A diminishes training
opportunities. Option C leaves unresolved factors affecting practice.
Option D may be premature without attempting engagement strategies
and understanding the root of the behavior.
Question 3. During a session, a client asks a personal question about
the therapist's family. Which therapist response best demonstrates
Wheeler's recommended approach to self-disclosure?
