Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Basic psychiatricmental health nurses promote and encourage the maintenance of health and prevention of disorders, assess biopsychosocial functioning, serve as case managers, design therapeutic environments, and promote self-care activities, including medication and symptom management. At the advanced level, psychiatricmental health nurses deliver comprehensive primary mental health services. Functions include teaching and screening, performing preventive interventions, and evaluating and managing care for people with mental illness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Psychiatricmental health nursing is built on certain principles or beliefs about people and the care they deserve: Every person is worthy of dignity and respect; every person has the potential to change and grow; all people share basic human needs; all behavior is meaningful and can be understood from the person's perspective; people have the right to participate in decisions affecting their health and treatment. Through the therapeutic use of self, via therapeutic relationships and communication, nurses help people adapt, change, and grow. While all the above principles are followed, the nurse's questioning in the stem best reflects the principle that all behavior has meaning and can be understood from the person's perspective.
