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

skills as well as critical thinking
to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.‖
c. ―That‘s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology
monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.‖
d. ―Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as
medical– surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.‖
D
ANS: B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–
O
surgical nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be
able to help patients with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the
holistic perspective these nurses must have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in
N
psychiatric settings have increased, just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing
involves clinical practice, not just documentation. Psychosocial pain and suffering
O
are as real as physical pain and suffering.

3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons
diagnosed with mental illness, a group of nurses write letters to their elected
representatives in opposition to the legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
a. Recovery
b. Attending
c. Advocacy
d. Evidence-based practice
D
O
ANS: C
An advocate defends or asserts another‘s cause, particularly when the other person
lacks the ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping
N
patients understand their rights or make decisions. On a community scale, advocacy
includes political activity, public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving
O
the human condition.
Since funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons with mental
T
illness, the letter-writing campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of patients who
are unable to articulate their own needs.
