The PMHNP role has the theoretical orientation, education, and scope to be an effective provider
of child and adolescent mental health services. The American Psychiatric Nurses Association
(APNA) takes the policy position that psychiatric nurses should be considered members of the
primary care workforce; this is in contrast to the traditional medical model, which positions
mental health care as a specialty discipline. The responsibilities of the PMHNP role are founded
on the nursing process and therapeutic relationship and include: educating patients and families;
diagnosing, treating, and managing acute illness; providing psychotherapy; prescribing
medication for acute and chronic illness; diagnosing, treating, and managing acute illness;
providing care coordination; making referrals; ordering, performing, and interpreting lab tests,
diagnostic studies; and providing preventative care including screening (APNA, 2019).
