Approach, 3rd Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following is considered an Advanced Practice Intervention?
a. Conducting mental health assessments (MSA)
b. Prescribing psychotropic medication
c. Establishing therapeutic relationships
d. Individualizing nursing care plans
ANS: B
Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses can further their education at a
baccalaureate level or at the graduate level (master’s doctorate) and become qualified to
practise psychiatric mental health nursing at two levels – basic and advanced – developing
on their education preparation. Prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-prepared
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) as they have taken additional advanced courses on prescribing
medication. Appropriate use of diagnostic tests must be completed as well as having
hospital admitting privileges. Establishing therapeutic relationship, conducting mental
health assessments (MSAs), and individualizing nursing care plans are foundational
psychiatric nursing skills. Therefore, they are considered Basic-Level Interventions.

2. Which has been identified as a priority for national plans and strategies in psychiatric
mental health nursing in Canada?
a. Decrease in the aging population
b. Increase in cultural diversity
c. Role of the advanced practice nurse
d. Shortage of physicians in rural and urban areas
ANS: B
In early phases of strategic development, the Mental Health Commission of Canada
identified cultural diversity as a priority for national plans and strategies. Increasing
cultural diversity within Canada warrants deeper attention to culturally safe care and
concern for the mental health consequences of colonization and racism. An aging
population and shortage of physicians are important to future trends. The role of the
advanced practice nurse is continuing to evolve in psychiatric mental health nursing in
Canada.

3. Which serves as the official guide for diagnosing psychiatric disorders?
a. International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11)
b. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
c. A behavioural health reference manual

, d. NurseOne online
ANS: B
The first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) was published by
the American Psychiatric Association in 1952. Its purpose was to provide clinicians,
educators, and researchers with a common framework to understand and communicate
about mental disorders. With a common understanding about mental disorders, researchers
and clinicians could work together in their attempts to improve care for people with mental
illness. The current DSM-5 serves as the official guide for diagnosing psychiatric
