Nursing roles associated with shifts in the delivery of psychiatric services to social and community settings would not include:
1. Leading community support groups for couples receiving genetic counseling.
2. Providing case management as part of an interdisciplinary team.
3. Participating as a member of a community board for social planning activities.
4. Providing individual therapy in a private practice setting.

Rationale: Traditional private practice is not associated with population or community-based levels of service, particularly groups previously neglected, or suffering from the effects of long-term institutionalization. Case management, participation in social planning, and providing supportive interventions and community support to various populations are all part of the shift of services from private to community settings.
