Answer to Question 1

C
The current perspective of psychiatric nursing is that it is a specialty within nursing. This specialty includes subspecialties for advance practice registered nurses. Subspecialties focus on such areas as mental health services for the child, adolescent, adult, elderly, and the patient who is chronically ill, to name a few.
