A growing role of the child psychiatric–mental health nurse is:
1. Scrutinizing the public.
2. Promoting infant mental health.
3. Monitoring adult inpatient psychiatric clients.
4. Preventing mental health problems.
2
Rationale: A growing role for child psychiatric–mental health nurses involves promotion of infant mental health in high-risk families in which the infants have medical complications or the parents have a history of mental illness or substance abuse. Monitoring adults and scrutinizing the public are not part of the child psychiatric–mental health nurse's role. Nurses can advocate for mental health issues, but they cannot prevent mental health problems.
