1. A newly licensed nurse asks a nursing recruiter for a description of nursing practice in
km km km km km km km km km km km km km km
the psychiatric setting. What is the nurse recruiter‘s best response?
km km km km km km km km km km
a. ―The nurse primarily serves in a supportive role to members of the health care
km km km km km km km km km km km km km
delivery team.‖ km

ANS: k m D
Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique in its focus on
km km km km km km km km km km km km km
and application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor the
km km km km km km km km km km
multidisciplinary team define the professional responsibilities of its members but rather
km km km km km km km km km km km
utilizes their unique skills to provide holistic care. Ideally, all team members support
km km km km km km km km km km km km km
each other and have functions within the team.

services?
km

,3. An adult diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia frequently experiences auditory
km km km km km km km km
hallucinations and walks about the unit, muttering. Which nursing action demonstrates
km km km km km km km km km km km
the nurse‘s understanding of effective psychotherapeutic management of this client?
km km km km km km km km km km
a. Discussing the disease process of schizophrenia with the client and their
km km km km km km km km km km

partner
b. Minimizing contact between this patient and other patients to assure a stress-

the client‘s paranoid thoughts
km km km
ANS: k m A
An understanding of psychopathology is the foundation on which the three components of
km km km km km km km km km km km km
psychotherapeutic management rest; it facilitates therapeutic communication and provides a
km km km km km km km km km km
basis for understanding psychopharmacology and milieu management. Minimizing contact
km km km km km km km km km
between the patient and others and administering PRN medication indiscriminately are
km km km km km km km km km km km
nontherapeutic interventions. Using behavior modification to decrease the frequency of
km km km km km km km km km km
hallucinations would need to be incorporated into the plan of care by the care team.

by psychotherapeutic management?

km km km km km km km

d. Frequently scheduled one-on-one time with nursing staffkm km km km km km
ANS: k m D

km km km km km km km km km km km
nurse-patient relationship. One-on-one time with nursing staff will help in establishing this
km km km km km km km km km km km
connection. While the other options are appropriate and client centered, the nurse-client
km km km km km km km km km km km km
relation is critical in the long-term delivery of quality effective care to this client.

5. A patient‘s haloperidol dosage was reduced 2 weeks ago to decrease side effects.
km km km km km km km km km km km km
What assessment question demonstrates the nurse‘s understanding of the resulting
km km km km km km km km km km
needs of the client?
km km km km

, ANS: k m B
It will be necessary for the nurse to assess for exacerbation of the patient‘s symptoms of
km km km km km km km km km km km km km km km
psychosis as well as for a lessening of side effects. Dosage decrease might lead to the
km km km km km km km km km km km km km km km km
return or worsening of positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and
km km km km km km km km km km km km
negative symptoms such as blunted affect, social withdrawal, and poor grooming. While
km km km km km km km km km km km km
the other options may be appropriate assessment questions, they are not directed at the
km km km km km km km km km km km km km km
current needs of the client which is the identification of emerging psychotic behaviors.
