Answer to Question 1

C
A community mental health nurse must be able to work with schools, corrections facilities, shelters, health care providers, and employers. The mental health nurse working in an inpatient unit needs only to be able to work within the single setting. All nurses need problem-solving skills. Nurses in both settings must have knowledge of psychopharmacology.

Answer to Question 2

Cognition
Cognition relates to intelligence, judgment, reasoning, knowledge, understanding, and memory.
