MULTIPLE |CHOICE
1. A |newly |licensed |asks |a |nursing |recruiter |for |a |description |of |nursing |practice | in |the
| psychiatric |setting. |What | is |the |nurse |recruiter‘s |best | response?
a. ―The |nurse |primarily |serves |in|a |supportive |role |to |members |of |the |health |care
| delivery |team.‖
b. ―The |multidisciplinary|approach|eliminates|the |need |to |clearly|define |the
| responsibilities |of |nursing | in |such |a | setting.‖
c. ―Nursing |actions|are |identified |by|the |institution|that |distinguishes |nursing |from
other | mental |health |professions.‖
|
d. ―Nursing |offers|unique |contributions|to |the |psychotherapeutic |management |of
| psychiatric | patients.‖
ANSWER: | D
Professional |role |overlap |cannot |be |denied; |however, |nursing | is |unique |in |its |focus |on |and
| application |of |psychotherapeutic | management. | Neither |the |facility |nor |the |multidisciplinary
| team |define |the |professional |responsibilities |of |its | members | but | rather |utilizes |their |unique
| skills |to |provide | holistic |care. | Ideally, |all |team |members |support |each |other |and | have
| functions |within |the |team.

2. Which |component | of |the |nursing |process |will |the |nurse |focus |upon |to |address |the
| responsibility |to |match |individual |patient | needs |with |appropriate |services?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Implementation
ANSWER: | C
Proper |assessment |is |critical |for |being |able |to |determine |the |appropriate |level |of |services |that
| will |provide |optimal |care | while |considering |patient | input | and |at |the |lowest | cost. |Planning |and
| implementation |utilizes |the |assessment | data |to | identify |and |execute |actions |(treatment | plan)
| that |will |provide |appropriate |care. |Evaluation |validates |the |effectiveness |of |the |treatment | plan.

3. An |adult |diagnosed |with |paranoid |schizophrenia | frequent | experiences |auditory |hallucinations

a. Discussing |the |disease |process |of |schizophrenia |with |the |client | and |their |domestic
| partner
b. Minimizing |contact | between |this |patient | and |other |patients |to |assure |a |stress |free
