Rationale 1: The PsychiatricMental Health Nursing Standards of Practice delineates psychiatricmental health
nursing roles and functions and serves as guidelines for providing quality care. The Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders is used by the mental health care team, particularly the psychiatrist, to diagnose
clients with mental disorders and is not specific to nursing care issues. The Code of Ethics helps to clarify right
and wrong actions by the nurse, but does not clarify roles and nursing care actions. Certification requirements
outline steps toward certification that acknowledge knowledge and expertise, but do not delineate roles and
responsibilities.
