A client states, I am thinking about going to an advanced practice nurse. What can an advanced practice psychiatric nurse do? The nurse knows that an advanced practice nursing intervention would be:
 
  1. Identifying nursing diagnoses
  2. Evaluating client responses to nursing care
  3. Writing prescriptions for psychotropic medications
  4. Giving psychotropic medications to patients on a unit

Question 2

A client makes an appointment to see the psychiatric mental health nurse about family prob-lems. The nurse should assume that the principal focus of the nurse-client relationship will be determined by:
 
  1. Client needs
  2. Nurse expertise
  3. Social interaction
  4. Epidemiology and research

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Options 1, 2, and 4 are all skills for a registered nurse at the basic level of practice. Option 3 is the only advanced skill.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
An operative principle for developing and maintaining a therapeutic nurse-client relationship states that client needs and problems are the focus of the therapeutic nurse-client relationship. 2. Nurse expertise never dictates the focus; it is always client-centered. 3. Social interaction does not determine focus; needs are assessed during therapeutic interactions. 4. Epidemiology and re-search are not the primary focus of the relationship.
