    A nurse is discussing the scope of practice and responsibilities of mental health nurses who are not advanced practice registered nurses with a peer. Which of the following responsibilities is within the nurse's scope of practice?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Resolving insurance issues : Insurance issues are typically handled by social workers or case managers, not bedside nurses. B. Providing case management: General mental health nurses can provide case management, which includes coordinating care, making referrals, and advocating for resources. C. Determining a mental health diagnosis : Only advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), psychiatrists, and psychologists can diagnose mental health conditions. D. Securing affordable housing for clients: Securing housing is a role of social workers, not nurses. Nurses may refer clients to resources but do not secure housing directly.
