MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A newly licensed Professional nurse asks a nursing recruiter for a description of nursing
practice in thepsychiatric setting. What is the Professional nurse recruiter‘s best
response?
a. “The Professional nurse primarily serves in a supportive role to members of
the health caredelivery team.”
b. “The multidisciplinary approach eliminates the need to clearly define the
responsibilities of nursing in such a setting.”
c. “Nursing actions are identified by the institution that distinguishes nursing from
other mental health professions.”
d. “Nursing offers unique contributions to the psychotherapeutic management of
psychiatric clients.”
CORRECT ANSWER:-D
Rationale :->>>> Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique
in its focus on and application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor
the multidisciplinaryteam define the professional responsibilities of its members but rather
utilizes their unique skills to provide holistic care. Ideally, all team members support each
other and have functions within the team.

2. Which component of the nursing process will the Professional nurse focus upon
to address theresponsibility to match individual client needs with appropriate
services?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Implementation
CORRECT ANSWER:-C
Rationale :->>>> Proper assessment is critical for being able to determine the
appropriate level of servicesthat will provide optimal care while considering client input
and at the lowest cost.
Planning and implementation utilizes the assessment data to identify and execute actions
(treatment plan) that will provide appropriate care. Evaluation validates the effectiveness of
the treatment plan.

3. An adult diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia frequently experiences auditory

.
, b. Minimizing contact between this client and other clients to assure a stress-free
milieu
c. Administering PRN medication when first observing the evidence that the client
may be hallucinating
d. Independently determining that behavior modification is appropriate to decrease
the client‘s paranoid thoughts
CORRECT ANSWER:-A
Rationale :->>>> An understanding of psychopathology is the foundation on which the
three components of psychotherapeutic management rest; it facilitates therapeutic
communication and provides a basis for understanding psychopharmacology and milieu
management. Minimizing contact between the client and others and administering PRN
medication indiscriminately are nontherapeutic interventions. Using behavior modification
to decrease the frequency of hallucinations would need to be incorporated into the plan of
care by the care team.

ImplementationMSC: Client Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment
4. An adult diagnosed with chronic depression is hospitalized after a suicide attempt. Which
intervention is critical in assuring long-term, effective client care as described by
psychotherapeutic management?
a. Involvement in group therapies
b. Focus of close supervision by the unit staff
c. Maintaining effective communication with support system
d. Frequently scheduled one-on-one time with nursing staff
CORRECT ANSWER:-D
Rationale :->>>> A critical element of psychotherapeutic management is the presence of a
therapeutic
Professional nurse-client relationship. One-on-one time with nursing staff will help in establishing
this
connection. While the other options are appropriate and client centered, the
Professional nurse-client relation is critical in the long-term delivery of quality effective
care to this client.
DIF: Cognitive level: Applying TOPIC: Nursing process:
ImplementationMSC: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity
5. A client‘s haloperidol dosage was reduced 2 weeks ago to decrease side effects. What
assessment question demonstrates the Professional nurse‘s understanding of the
resulting needs of theclient?
a. “Will you have any difficulty getting your prescription refilled?”
b. “Have you begun experiencing any forms of hallucinations?”
c. “What do you expect will occur since the dosage has been reduced?”
d. “What can I do to help you manage this reduction in haloperidol therapy?”
CORRECT ANSWER:-B
Rationale :->>>> It will be necessary for the Professional nurse to assess for exacerbation
of the client‘s symptoms of psychosis as well as for a lessening of side effects. Dosage
decrease might lead to the returnor worsening of positive symptoms such as hallucinations
and delusions, and negative symptoms such as blunted affect, social withdrawal, and poor
grooming. While the other options may be appropriate assessment questions, they are not
directed at the current needs of the client which is the identification of emerging psychotic
