b. ―Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well a s cr itical thinking kr kr




kr to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




c. ―That‘s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




d. ―Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




kr medical– surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: B kr




The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




surgical nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




able to help patientswith medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




holistic perspective these nurses must have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




psychiatric settings have increased,just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




involves clinical practice, not just documentation. Psychosocial pain and suffering
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




are as real as physical pain and suffering.
