Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master's-prepared nurse practitioners who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The nurse prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish relationships, and provide individualized care planning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Specifically identifying previous successes is likely to enhance self-esteem in a client with SPMI. Granting autonomy in decision making may indirectly help meet this goal, provided such autonomy results in positive outcomes. The nurse's statement of his or her goals for the client and discussions of past failures do not enhance self-esteem.
