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

skills.‖ Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



a. ―Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to- hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



patient ratios must be better because of the nature of the patients‘ problems.‖

b. ―Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinking to solve hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.‖ hg hg hg hg hg hg hg




c. ―That‘s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology monitoring

equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.‖ hg hg hg hg hg

surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.‖

hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



surgical nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help p
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



atients with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg



se nurses must have. Nurse–
hg hg hg hg



patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like other specialties.
