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

a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
IIll Nurse-to- client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients’
Il IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
IIll problems.”

these nurses must have. Nurse–client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have
