j facility j nor j the jmultidisciplinary j team j define j the j professional j responsibilities
j of j its j members j but jrather j utilizes j their j unique j skills j to j provide j holistic

j
j upon j to jaddress j the j responsibility j to j match j individual j patient
j needs j with jappropriate j services?
a. Planning

Proper j assessment j is j critical j for j being j able j to j determine j the j appropriate
j level j of jservices j that j will j provide j optimal j care j while j considering j patient
j input j and j at j the jlowest j cost. j Planning j and j implementation j utilizes j the
j assessment j data j to j identify jand j execute j actions j (treatment j plan) j that j will

j plan.

3. An j adult j diagnosed j with j paranoid j schizophrenia j frequently j experiences
j auditory jhallucinations j and j walks j about j the j unit, j muttering. j Which j nursing
j action jdemonstrates j the j nurse‘s j understanding j of j effective
j psychotherapeutic jmanagement j of j this j client?
a. Discussing j the j disease j process j of j schizophrenia j with j the j client j and
j their jdomestic
partner
b. Minimizing j contact j between j this j patient j and j other j patients j to
j assure j a jstress-free
milieu
c. Administering j PRN j medication j when j first j observing j the j evidence j that
j the j client
may j be j hallucinating
d. Independently jdetermining j that j behavior j modification j is j appropriate j to
jdecrease
the j client‘s j paranoid j thoughts
ANS: A
An j understanding j of j psychopathology j is j the j foundation j on j which j the j three
j components j of j psychotherapeutic j management j rest; j it j facilitates j therapeutic
j communication j and j provides j a j basis j for j understanding j psychopharmacology j and
j milieu jmanagement. j Minimizing j contact j between j the j patient j and j others j and
j administering jPRN j medication j indiscriminately j are j nontherapeutic j interventions.
j Using j behavior jmodification j to j decrease j the j frequency j of j hallucinations
j would j need j to j be jincorporated j into j the j plan j of j care j by j the j care j team.

b. Focus j of j close j supervision j by j the j unit j j staff
c. Maintaining j effective j communication j with j support
jsystem
d. Frequently j scheduled j one-on-one j time j with

ANS: D
A j critical j element j of j psychotherapeutic j management j is j the j presence j of j a
therapeutic jnurse-patient j relationship. j One-on-one j time j with j nursing j staff j will
j
j help j in j establishing jthis j connection. j While j the j other j options j are
j appropriate j and j client j centered, j the jnurse-client j relation j is j critical j in j the
j long-term j delivery j of j quality j effective j care
to j this j client.
