Correct Answer: 1,3,4,5

Rationale 1: Stress management strategies address health, wellness, and care of mental health problems

and are appropriate for psychiatricmental health nursing at the generalist level of practice.

Rationale 2: Early diagnosis of psychiatric disorders is generally not consistent with the definition or

practice of psychiatricmental health nursing especially at the generalist level.

Rationale 3: Parenting classes for new parents provide teaching that is consistent with the prevention of

mental health problems and is consistent with psychiatricmental health nursing at the generalist level of

practice.

Rationale 4: Family and group psychotherapy is consistent at the advanced practice registered nurse level but

not the generalist level.

Rationale 5: Medication teaching for anti-anxiety medications promotes quality of care for persons with

psychiatric disorders and is vital for psychiatricmental health nursing practice at the generalist level of

practice.

Question 2

Type: MCSA

The nurse is serving on a committee charged with reviewing the roles and responsibilities of the nurses on

the psychiatric unit. Which publication should the nurse bring to the first meeting?

1. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders

2. American Nurses Credentialing Center certification requirements

3. American Nurses Association, Code of Ethics

4. PsychiatricMental Health Nursing Standards of Practice

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: The PsychiatricMental Health Nursing Standards of Practice delineates psychiatricmental health

nursing roles and functions and serves as guidelines for providing quality care. The Diagnostic and Statistical

Manual of Mental Disorders is used by the mental health care team, particularly the psychiatrist, to diagnose

clients with mental disorders and is not specific to nursing care issues. The Code of Ethics helps to clarify right

and wrong actions by the nurse, but does not clarify roles and nursing care actions. Certification requirements

outline steps toward certification that acknowledge knowledge and expertise, but do not delineate roles and

responsibilities.
