Rationale u 1: u The psychiatric u mental u Health u Nursing u Standards u of u Practice
u delineates upsychiatric u mental u health u nursing u roles u and u functions u and
u serves u as u guidelines u for uproviding u quality u care. u The u Diagnostic u and
u Statistical u Manual u of u Mental u Disorders u is u used u by u the u mental u health
u care u team, u particularly u the u psychiatrist, u to u diagnose u clients uwith u mental
u disorders u and u is u not u specific u to u nursing u care u issues. u The u Code u of
u Ethics uhelps u to u clarify u right u and u wrong u actions u by u the u nurse, u but
u does u not u clarify u roles u and unursing u care u actions. u Certification u requirements
u outline u steps u toward u certification u that u acknowledge u knowledge u and
u expertise, u but u do u not u delineate u roles u and u responsibilities.
