Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A community mental health nurse often works autonomously. Kindness, compassion, and professionalism apply to both nurses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses on psychiatric units routinely coordinate patient services, serving as case managers as described in this scenario. The role of advocate would require the nurse to speak out on the patient's behalf. The role of milieu manager refers to maintaining a therapeutic environment. Provider of care refers to giving direct care to the patient.
