answers
,1. A staff nurse completes orientation to a psychiatric
unit. This nurse may expect an advanced practice
nurse to perform which additional intervention?
a.
Conduct mental health assessments.
b.
Prescribe psychotropic medication.
c.
Establish therapeutic relationships.
d.

B
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to
master's-prepared nurse practitioners and clinical
nurse specialists who have taken special courses on
prescribing medication. The nurse prepared at the
basic level is permitted to perform mental health
assessments, establish relationships, and provide
individualized care planning.
,1. An experienced nurse says to a new graduate,
"When you've practiced as long as I have, you
automatically know how to take care of patients
experiencing psychosis." Which factors should the
new graduate consider when analyzing this comment?
(Select all that apply.)
a.
The experienced nurse may have lost sight of
patients' individuality, which may compromise the
integrity of practice.
b.
New research findings should be integrated
continuously into a nurse's practice to provide the
most effective care.
c.
Experience provides mental health nurses with the
essential tools and skills needed for effective
professional practice.
d.
, Experienced psychiatric nurses have learned the best
ways to care for mentally ill patients through trial and
error.
e.
An intuitive sense of patients' needs guides effective
psychiatric nurses. - answer ✅✅ANS: A, B
Evidence-based practice involves using research
findings and standards of care to provide the most
effective nursing care. Evidence is continuously
emerging, so nurses cannot rely solely on experience.
The effective nurse also maintains respect for each
patient as an individual. Overgeneralization
compromises that perspective. Intuition and trial and
error are unsystematic approaches to care.
