MULTIPLE CHOICE

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

a. Conducting a mental health assessment.
b. Prescribing psychotropic medication.
c. Establishing a therapeutic relationship.
d. Individualizing a nursing care plan.

ANS: 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.
PTS: 1
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (Comprehension)
TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation
MSC: Client Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment

2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses "lose
all their clinical nursing skills." Select the best response by the mental
health nurse.

a. "Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other
specialties. Nurse-to-client ratios must be better because of the nature of
the clients' problems."
b. "Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as
critical thinking to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by
those situations."
c. "That's 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."
