1. A newly licensed asks a nursing recruiter for a description of nursing practice in
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


thepsychiatric setting. What is the nurse recruiter‘s best response?
rt tr rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


a. ―The nurse primarily serves in a supportive role to members of the health care
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


delivery team.‖ rt


b. ―The multidisciplinary approach eliminates the need to clearly define the
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


responsibilities of nursing in such a setting.‖ rt rt rt rt rt rt


c. ―Nursing actions are identified by the institution that distinguishes nursing from
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


other mental health professions.‖ rt rt rt


d. ―Nursing offers unique contributions to the psychotherapeutic management of
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


psychiatric patients.‖ rt




ANSWER: D rt


Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique in its focus on and
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor the
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


multidisciplinary team define the professional responsibilities of its members but rather
rt tr rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


utilizes their unique skills to provide holistic care. Ideally, all team members support each
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


other and have functions within the team.

3. An adult diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia frequent experiences auditory

hallucinationsand walks about the unit, muttering. Which nursing action demonstrates the
rt tr rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


nurse‘s understanding of effective psychotherapeutic management of this client?

a. Discussing the disease process of schizophrenia with the client and their domestic

milieu

, may be hallucinating
rt rt


d. Independently determining that behavior modification is appropriate to decrease rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


the client‘s paranoid thoughts
rt rt rt




ANSWER: A rt


An understanding of psychopathology is the foundation on which the three components of
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


psychotherapeutic management rest; it facilitates therapeutic communication and provides
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


abasis for understanding psychopharmacology and milieu management. Minimizing contact
rt tr rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


between the patient and others and administering PRN medication indiscriminately are
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


nontherapeutic interventions. Using behavior modification to decrease the frequency of
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


hallucinations would need to be incorporated into the plan of care by the care team.

c. Maintaining effective communication with support system rt rt rt rt rt


d. Frequently scheduled one-on-one time with nursing staff rt rt rt rt rt rt

thisconnection. While the other options are appropriate and client centered, the nurse-client

5. A patient‘s haloperidol dosage was reduced 2 weeks ago to decrease side effects. What
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


assessment question demonstrates the nurse‘s understanding of the resulting needs of
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


theclient?
rt tr


a. ―Will you have any difficulty getting your prescription refilled?‖
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


b. ―Have you begun experiencing any forms of hallucinations?‖
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


c. ―What do you expect will occur since the dosage has been reduced?‖
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


d. ―What can I do to help you manage this reduction in haloperidol therapy?‖
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt




ANSWER: B rt


It will be necessary for the nurse to assess for exacerbation of the patient‘s symptoms of
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


psychosis as well as for a lessening of side effects. Dosage decrease might lead to the
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


return or worsening of positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


negative symptoms such as blunted affect, social withdrawal, and poor grooming. While the
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


other options may be appropriate assessment questions, they are not directed at the current
rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt rt


needs ofthe client; the identification of emerging psychotic behaviors.
