Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The psychiatricmental health nurse has major responsibility for the milieu; therefore, it is appropriate to discuss requested changes in order to gather information regarding the effectiveness of the milieu. The psychiatric social worker identifies community resources and may perform counseling. It is non-therapeutic to instruct the client that no changes can be made before gathering data in relation to the client's requests. The psychosocial rehabilitation worker teaches day-to-day skills for living and may provide case management services.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The goal of psychopharmacology is to stabilize brain function, thus allowing clients to grow emotionally, in their relationships, and at their jobs or school. The goal should be more than just decreasing the worst symptoms. Psychoanalysis is only one form of psychotherapy. All people need to learn how to cope with the stresses of everyday life, and a medication does not make a person happy. It can improve brain function and decrease or eliminate depressive symptoms.
