I!l I!l I!l I! l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



delivery team.‖ I! l



b. ―The multidisciplinary approach eliminates the need to clearly define the
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I! l I!l I!l



responsibilities of nursing in such a setting.‖ I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



c. ―Nursing actions are identified by the institution that distinguishes nursing from I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



other mental health professions.‖ I! l I!l I!l



d. ―Nursing offers unique contributions to the psychotherapeutic management of I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



psychiatric patients.‖ I!l

I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor the

multidisciplinaryteam define the professional responsibilities of its members but rather

I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I! l I!l I!l I!l I!l

I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Implementation
ANSWER: C I!l



Proper assessment is critical for being able to determine the appropriate level of services
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



that will provide optimal care while considering patient input and at the lowest cost.
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l

(treatment plan) that will provide appropriate care. Evaluation validates the effectiveness of

I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



hallucinationsand walks about the unit, muttering. Which nursing action demonstrates the
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



nurse‘s understanding of effective psychotherapeutic management of this client?
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I! l I!l I!l I!l



a. Discussing the disease process of schizophrenia with the client and their domestic I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



partner
b. Minimizing contact between this patient and other patients to assure a stress free I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



milieu
c. Administering PRN medication when first observing the evidence that the client I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l

, may be hallucinating I!l I!l



d. Independently determining that behavior modification is appropriate to decrease I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



the client‘s paranoid thoughts
I!l I!l I!l




ANSWER: A I!l



An understanding of psychopathology is the foundation on which the three components of
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



psychotherapeutic management rest; it facilitates therapeutic communication and provides
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



abasis for understanding psychopharmacology and milieu management. Minimizing contact
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



between the patient and others and administering PRN medication indiscriminately are
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



nontherapeutic interventions. Using behavior modification to decrease the frequency of
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



hallucinations would need to be incorporated into the plan of care by the care team.

d. Frequently scheduled one-on-one time with nursing staff I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l

I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



nurse-patient relationship. One-on-one time with nursing staff will help in establishing I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



thisconnection. While the other options are appropriate and client centered, the nurse-client
I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l



relation is critical in the long-term delivery of quality effective care to this client.

I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l I!l
