Answer to Question 1

D
Firm limits are necessary to ensure physical safety and emotional security. Limit setting will also protect other patients from the teen's thoughtless or aggressive behavior. Permitting refusals to participate in the treatment plan, pleading, and bargaining are strategies that do not help the patient learn to abide by rules or structure.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, E
Prescriptive privileges are granted to masters-prepared nurse practitioners who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. This nurse is also credentialed to consult with other clinicians and provide psychotherapy. The nurse prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish relationships, and provide individualized care planning.
