Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: If the comprehensive nursing assessment, interpretation of the assessment, client teaching, and evaluation of the intervention are based on knowledge of the biologic, cognitive, and behavioral factors that affect the client, the client has a greater opportunity for successful reduction of symptoms. Nurses use a variety of theoretical frameworks and the nursing process to guide care. A psychobiologic approach is compatible with the nursing process. Nurses and physicians practice from a psychobiological perspective using the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: 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.
