MULTIPLE CHOICE xc




1. The scope of practiced for an advanced nurse practitioner would include which intervention?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




a. Conducting a mental health assessment. xc xc xc xc




b. Prescribing psychotropic medication. xc xc




c. Establishing a therapeutic relationship. xc xc xc




d. Individualizing a nursing care plan. xc xc xc xc




ANSWER: B x c




In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-prepared nurse practitioners and
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




clinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The nurse
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




xc relationships, and provide individualized care planning. xc xc xc xc xc

2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses “lose all their clinical nursing
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




skills.” Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to- xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients’ problems.”
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinkingto xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




xc solve multidimensional problems. Iam challenged by those situations.”
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




c. “That’s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.”
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




medical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.”
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




ANSWER: x c B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–surgical nursing,
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




xc though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help clients with medical
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




xc as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nursesmust have.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




xc Nurse–client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like other xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc

xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
