Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale: Performing mental health assessments. It is part of the psychiatric nurse's role to identify health care needs and plan appropriate treatment.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Acknowledging that a client's spiritual practices may assist in recovery acknowledges that practice of a religious or spiritual ritual is a reflection of the client's connection to faith. Telling the client that it is acceptable to pray in the hospital chapel ignores the client's question about the meaning of prayer. Suggesting that it is not advisable to focus only on prayer invalidates the client's spiritual needs. Generalizing about clients experiencing spiritual crises because of their hospitalization minimizes the importance of the client's search for meaning.
