a. Referring members
b. Acting as the solo leader

d. Participating as a co-leader
b. Acting as the solo leader
The role of the novice nurse in group psychotherapy is to encourage participation, refer members, and participate as a co-leader or group facilitator. The novice nurse does not have the experience that is necessary to act as the only leader of the group. That would be appropriate for an advanced practice nurse, not an R N.
