Edition By Morrison-Valfre
Chapter 1. The History of Mental Health Care & Chapter 2. Current
Mental Health Care
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 plans.
ANS: B
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-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:
“Psychiatric
nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to-patient
a. ratios must be better because of the nature of the patients’ problems.”
“Psychiatric
nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinking to solve
b. multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.”
“That’s
a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology monitoring
c. equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.”
“Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as medical-surgical
d. nurses do. That appeals to me.”
ANS: 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.
MSC: Client Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment
3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons with mental
illness, a group of nurses writes letters to their elected representatives in opposition to the
legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
4. Which comment best indicates that a patient perceived the nurse was caring? “My nurse:
a. always asks me which type of juice I want to help me swallow my medication.”
b. explained my treatment plan to me and asked for my ideas about how to make it better.”
spends time listening to me talk about my problems. That helps me feel like I am not
c. alone.”
told me that if I take all the medicines the doctor prescribes, then I will get discharged
d. sooner.”
