MULTIPLE CHOICE v




1. The scope of practiced for an advanced nurse practitioner would include which intervention?
v v v v v v v v v v v v




a. Conducting a mental health assessment. v v v v




b. Prescribing psychotropic medication. v v




c. Establishing a therapeutic relationship. v v v




d. Individualizing a nursing care plan. v v v v




ANSWER: B v




In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-prepared nurse practitioners and
v v v v v v v v v v v




clinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The nurse
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v relationships, and provide individualized care planning. v v v v v

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




skills.” Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
v v v v v v v v v v




a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to- v v v v v v v v v




client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients’ problems.”
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinkingto v v v v v v v v v v v




v solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.”
v v v v v v v v




c. “That’s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology
v v v v v v v v




monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.”
v v v v v v v




d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as v v v v v v v v v v v v v




medical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.”
v v v v v v v




ANSWER: v B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–surgical nursing,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help clients with medical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nursesmust have.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v Nurse–client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like other

v specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just documentation.

Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.

3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons diagnosed with
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v mental illness, a group of nurses write letters to their elected representatives in opposition to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v the legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
v v v v v v v




a. Recovery
b. Attending

c. Advocacy
d. Evidence-based practice v
