The primary opportunity provided by psychiatric clinical rotations for nursing students is an opportunity to:
a. become familiar with patients who have chronic psychiatric mental health issues.
b. work with patients who have psychiatric as well as physical health issues.
c. learn to work with patients with various psychiatric mental health issues.
d. learn to care for patients who have emotional disorders.
C
Students who have the opportunity to work in a psychiatric-mental health setting benefit because of the opportunities to work directly with a specific population of patients with psychiatric-mental health illnesses. In acute care, medical-surgical units, general outpatient clinical settings, or long-term care settings, students can only care for the patients served in the setting and hope that they will acquire some knowledge about the psychiatric disorder process and how it affects patients. Unfortunately, in these settings, the chances for learning about advances in the field of psychiatry or behavioral health would not be available.
