Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Standard objectives guide PMH nurses and members of related disciplines in the care of pa-tients (individuals, families, communities, and organizations). The objectives and criteria are as follows: the promotion and protection of mental health, the prevention of mental disor-ders, the treatment of mental disorders, and recovery and rehabilitation. Keeping appropriate boundaries is a generalized nursing responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Peplau's pioneering endeavors and contributions were largely influenced by interpersonal psychotherapy. She believed that disorders evolved in the social context of interpersonal in-teractions. (i.e., what went on between people). Instinctual responses are more related to in-trapersonal interactions. Florence Nightingale was instrumental in the holistic approach to nursing care, whereas Linda Richards' practice was centered on institutional care of the mental ill.
