MULTIPLE CHOICE kr




1. The scope of practiced for an advanced nurse practitioner would include which intervention?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



a. Conducting a mental health assessment. kr kr kr kr



b. Prescribing psychotropic medication. kr kr



c. Establishing a therapeutic relationship. kr kr kr



d. Individualizing a nursing care plan. kr kr kr kr




ANS: B kr



In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master‘s-prepared nurse practitioners
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



andclinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



nurseprepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



relationships, and provide individualized care planning.

2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses ―lose all their clinical
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



nursingskills.‖ Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



a. ―Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to- kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



client ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients‘ problems.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



b. ―Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



thinkingto solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



situations.‖ kr



c. ―That‘s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



technologymonitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



therapies.‖ kr



d. ―Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



asmedical–surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: B kr



The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–surgical
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help clients
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



nursesmust have. Nurse–client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



documentation.
kr



Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering. kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr

3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons diagnosed
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



with mental illness, a group of nurses write letters to their elected representatives in
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



opposition tothe legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



a. Recovery
b. Attending
c. Advocacy
d. Evidence-based practice kr

ANS: C kr



An advocate defends or asserts another‘s cause, particularly when the other person lacks the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping clients
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



understand their rights or make decisions. On a community scale, advocacy includes political
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



activity, public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the human condition.
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



Since funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons with mental illness, the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



letter-writing campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of clients who are unable to
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



articulate their own needs.

4. A family has a long history of conflicted relationships among the members. Which
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



kr familymember‘s comment best reflects a mentally healthy perspective?
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



a. ―I‘ve made mistakes but everyone else in this family has also.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



b. ―I remember joy and mutual respect from our early years together.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



c. ―I will make some changes in my behavior for the good of the family.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



d. ―It‘s best for me to move away from my family. Things will never change.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: C kr



The correct response demonstrates the best evidence of a healthy recognition of the
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



importance of relationships. Mental health includes rational thinking, communication skills,
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



learning, emotional growth, resilience, and self-esteem. Recalling joy from earlier in life
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



maybe healthy, but the correct response shows a higher level of mental health. The other
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



incorrectresponses show blaming and avoidance.

kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



kr mentalillness? kr



a. reporting occasional sleeplessness and anxiety. kr kr kr kr



b. reporting a consistently sad, discouraged, and hopeless mood. kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



c. being able to describe the difference between ―as if‖ and ―for real.‖
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



d. experiencing difficulty making a decision about whether to change jobs. kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr




ANS: B kr



The correct response describes a mood alteration, which reflects mental illness. The
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



distractersdescribe behaviors that are mentally healthy or within the usual scope of human
kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr kr



experience.

kr kr kr kr kr kr



a. being willing to work towards achieving ideals and meeting demands.
