It is essential that psychiatric nurses become aware of their ability in the area of positive political action. The nurse can best achieve this goal by:
a. raising donations for a local community health center.
b. becoming involved in an election campaign for a local sheriff.
c. becoming an active volunteer working regularly at a crisis center.
d. working on a city committee to help register local voters.
D
For a psychiatric nurse to be politically active, helping others to become involved in their local area is a good step toward political awareness. Raising donations would be health care related rather than political action. Involvement in specific election campaigns would not have a direct correlation with psychiatric mental health issues, and being an active volunteer would be beneficial to the community that the crisis center serves but not a direct political action.
