Question 2

A nurse is caring for a patient who has come into the clinic insisting on seeing a psychiatric nurse practitioner immediately because the patient is in crisis. In order to prevent a possible catastrophic reaction, the nurse will:
 
  a. take the patient to an exam room immediately and begin to assess the situation and needs.
  b. ask the patient to please take a seat in the waiting room until the nurse practitioner can be called.
  c. ask the patient what psychiatric medications have been prescribed and when the patient last self-administered the drugs.
  d. call the clinic manager to assume responsibility for the patient's care so that the other patients can be attended to effectively.
