Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The psychiatricmental health nurse employs strategies to promote health and a safe environment and teaches safer sexual practices to the client who is asking for the information. Notifying the psychiatrist and consulting with the mental health care team is not necessary as health teaching is within the independent practice of the RN. Conducting individual psychotherapy is not within the practice standards for the generalist nurse.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The intent to conduct psychotherapy with clients is not consistent with the role of the nurse at the generalist level of practice as outlined in the PsychiatricMental Health Nursing Standards of Practice and indicates a need for role clarification. Evaluation of the therapeutic milieu, documenting progress toward treatment goals, and incorporating complementary interventions are consistent with the roles of the psychiatricmental health nurse practicing at the generalist level.
