MULTIPLE CHOICE
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. c. Establish therapeutic relationships.
b. Prescribe psychotropic medication. d. Individualize nursing care plAnswer.
ANSWER: B
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to masters-prepared nurse practitioners 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.

2. When a nursing student expresses concerns about how mental health nurses lose all their nursing skills, the
best response by the mental health nurse is:
a. Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to-patient 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. Thats a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology monitoring equipment and
manage complex intravenous therapies.
d. Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as medical-surgical nurses do.
That appeals to me.
, ANSWER: B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical-surgical nursing, though there
is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help patients with medical as well as mental health
problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nurses must have. Nurse-patient ratios and workloads in
psychiatric settings have increased, just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not
just documentation. Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.
