Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Psychobiologic research relating to brain structure and function made it possible for psychiatric nurses to view symptoms as brain irregularities and made it necessary for them to become knowledgeable about psychotropic medications to make appropriate assessments regarding desired outcomes and side and toxic effects of therapy. With hospital stays shortened, it became necessary for nurses to provide psychoeducation to patients and families who would need to monitor outcomes, symptoms of relapse, and side and toxic effects of medication. Homeless shelters became practice sites with the onset of deinstitutionalizat ion. Advocacy for patients' rights relating to hospitalization and commitment became an ethical issue before the Decade of the Brain.

Answer to Question 2

D
The patient's remarks call for the nurse to remind the patient of the parameters of their relationship and take the opportunity to discuss the issue of friends. Only this option incorporates both desired elements.
