Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Example of interventions related to psychiatric health promotion and health maintenance include scheduling routine follow-up appointments with health care providers, instructing clients about early signs and symptoms of psychiatric problems, teaching stress-reduction techniques, providing literature about or referring clients to substance abuse awareness programs, and educating clients that positive mental health is a direct function of choices. The other listed interventions may be valid areas of care but are not clear examples of health promotion activities.

The advanced practice psychiatricmental health nurse may provide psychotherapy (individual, group, family). Examples include all common forms of brief or long-term therapy. The therapist role that the APRN-PMH assumes is formal and structured and often involves contracts (verbal, written, or both) with clients.
