4. Family`and`group`psychotherapy
5. Medication`teaching`for`anti-anxiety`medications
Correct`Answer:`1,3,4,5
Rationale`1:`Stress`management`strategies`address`health,`wellness,`and`care`of`mental`health`problems`and`ar
e`appropriate`for`psychiatricmental`health`nursing`at`the`generalist`level`of`practice.
Rationale`2:`Early`diagnosis`of`psychiatric`disorders`is`generally`not`consistent`with`the`definition`or`practice
`of`psychiatricmental`health`nursing`especially`at`the`generalist`level.
Rationale`3:`Parenting`classes`for`new`parents`provide`teaching`that`is`consistent`with`the`prevention`of`ment
al`health`problems`and`is`consistent`with`psychiatricmental`health`nursing`at`the`generalist`level`of`practice.
Rationale`4:`Family`and`group`psychotherapy`is`consistent`at`the`advanced`practice`registered`nurse`level`but
,not`the`generalist`level.

anxiety`medications`promotes`quality`of`care`for`persons`with`psychiatric`disorders`and`is`vital`for`psychiatricm
ental`health`nursing`practice`at`the`generalist`level`of`practice.

Question`2`T
ype:`MCSA
The`nurse`is`serving`on`a`committee`charged`with`reviewing`the`roles`and`responsibilities`of`the`nurses`on`the`psy
chiatric`unit.`Which`publication`should`the`nurse`bring`to`the`first`meeting?
1. Diagnostic`and`Statistical`Manual`of`Mental`Disorders
2. American`Nurses`Credentialing`Center`certification`requirements
3. American`Nurses`Association,`Code`of`Ethics
4. PsychiatricMental`Health`Nursing`Standards`of`Practice
Correct`Answer:`4
Rationale`1:`The`PsychiatricMental`Health`Nursing`Standards`of`Practice`delineates`psychiatricmental`health`n
ursing`roles`and`functions`and`serves`as`guidelines`for`providing`quality`care.`The`Diagnostic`and`Statistical`Ma
nual`of`Mental`Disorders`is`used`by`the`mental`health`care`team,`particularly`the`psychiatrist,`to`diagnose`clients`
with`mental`disorders`and`is`not`specific`to`nursing`care`issues.`The`Code`of`Ethics`helps`to`clarify`right`and`wron
g`actions`by`the`nurse,`but`does`not`clarify`roles`and`nursing`care`actions.`Certification`requirements`outline`step
s`toward`certification`that`acknowledge`knowledge`and`expertise,`but`do`not`delineate`roles`and`responsibilities.
