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.

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
Multidimensional Problems. I Am Challenged By Those Situations.”
C. “That’s A Misconception. Psychiatric NURSEs Frequently Use High Technology Monitoring
