Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: The interpersonal theory of psychiatric-mental health nursing and the therapeutic relationship originated by Peplau remains the theory that has shaped psychiatric-mental health nursing most directly. While assessing self-care abilities, encouraging sensitivity and caring for self, and teaching effective coping skills, are important areas for nursing action, all efforts are supported by the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: It is important to understand medications use and appropriate diagnoses but these are not the most important skills to learn. The ability to guide a patient towards recovery, using effective interpersonal skills, is critical to the holistic practice of psychiatric nursing. Understanding the history of mental health nursing can provide perspective but not necessarily practical skills.
