nurses on the psychiatric 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. Psychiatric mental Health Nursing Standards of Practice
Correct Accurate Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The Psychiatric mental Health Nursing Standards of Practice delineates psychiatric
mental health nursing roles and functions and serves as guidelines for providing quality care. The
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 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 wrong actions by the nurse, but
does not clarify roles and nursing care actions. Certification requirements outline steps toward
certification that acknowledge knowledge and expertise, but do not delineate roles and
responsibilities.

Question 3

look for guidance?
1. North American Nursing Diagnosis Association
2. American Nurses Credentialing Center
3. National League for Nursing
4. American Nurses Association
Correct Accurate Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The American Nurses Association will be the best resource as professional
performance is addressed in standards 715 of ANAs Psychiatric mental Health Nursing
Standards of Practice. The National League for Nursing primarily addresses nursing education,
while the American Nurses Association Credentialing Center focuses on certification. The North
American Nursing Diagnosis Association develops a classification system for nursing diagnoses.
