Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Advanced practice nurses work as independent prescribers in many states. They work in close partnership with psychiatrists, often as a client's keyworker, which means that they are the first point of contact for the client or his or her caregiver. They stay in regular contact with the client and are responsible for making sure that the care planned for him or her actually is delivered. Psychiatric nurses are trained in assessing a person's mental state and deciding whether he or she needs to see a psychiatrist for review of medication or other treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
As an intervention model, the interdisciplinary approach to client service benefits not only the client but also various team members. Having different professionals come together to work on a client's case integrates expertise and knowledge that can lead to the formation of strong and effective strategies to address problems. This system offers team members an opportunity to explore alternative explanations for problems that a member of a single discipline would not otherwise have considered.
