A psychiatric nurse is assigned to conduct an admission nursing history on a new client.
Correct answer
C
Rationale
A comprehensive psychiatric nursing history should use a biopsychosocial approach, including physical, psychological, social, and family system assessments, to provide a holistic understanding of the clientÔÇÖs needs. Focusing only on emotional state or mental status is too narrow, and the nurseÔÇÖs opinion lacks objectivity without assessment data.
