TEST BANK FOR PSYCHIATRIC NURSING 9TH EDITION BY MILIEU KELTNER 2024  


 


1. A newly licensed asks a nursing recruiter for a description of nursing practice in the
psychiatric setting. What is the nurse recruiter’s best response?
a. “The nurse primarily serves in a supportive role to members of the health care
delivery 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 patients.”
ANS: D
Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique in its focus on and
application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor the multidisciplinary
team 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.
