problems.‖

k k k k k k k k
situations.‖

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

ANS: C k
An advocate defends or asserts another‘s cause, particularly when the
k k k k k k k k k
other person lacks the ability to do that for self. Examples of individual
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
advocacy include helping patients understand their rights or make
k k k k k k k k k
decisions. On a community scale, advocacy includes politicalactivity,
k k k k k k k k k
public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the human
k k k k k k k k k k k
condition.
k
Since funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons
k k k k k k k k k
with mental illness, theletter-writing campaign advocates for that cause
k k k k k k k k k k
on behalf of patients who are unable to articulate their own needs.
