    NU 400-MENTAL HEALTH-PSYCHIATRIC NURSING PROCTORED EXAM (EXAM 1 WEEK 3) ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE ME

    The client is getting ready to be discharged from the psych unit. A nurse and client have just completed reviewing the client's take-home medications. The nurse is exemplifying which role during this intervention?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Teacher is correct because the nurse is providing education about take-home medications, ensuring the client understands proper use and safety. B. Acting as a parent surrogate involves taking on a parental role, which is not appropriate in professional nursing care. C. The advocate role focuses on protecting the client’s rights and securing needed resources, not directly teaching. D. The caregiver role involves assisting with physical or emotional needs, but in this scenario, the emphasis is on education.
