Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Example of interventions related to psychiatric health promotion and health maintenance include scheduling routine follow-up appointments with health care providers, instructing clients about early signs and symptoms of psychiatric problems, teaching stress-reduction techniques, providing literature about or referring clients to substance abuse awareness programs, and educating clients that positive mental health is a direct function of choices. The other listed interventions may be valid areas of care but are not clear examples of health promotion activities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The advanced practice psychiatricmental health nurse may provide psychotherapy (individual, group, family). Examples include all common forms of brief or long-term therapy. The therapist role that the APRN-PMH assumes is formal and structured and often involves contracts (verbal, written, or both) with clients.
