The ANA and the psychiatric nursing organizations collaborate in defining the boundaries of psychiatric-mental health nursing and informing society about the parameters of practice. The standards are authoritative statements that describe the responsibilities for which the practitioners are accountable. The six standards of practice include competencies for which Psychiatric-Mental Health Registered Nurse (PMH-RN) and Advanced Practice Psychiatric-Mental Health Registered Nurses (PMH-APRN) are accountable and define the parameters of psychiatric-mental health nursing practice. Ten standards of professional performance for psychiatric-mental health nurses define and inform society about the professional role of psychiatric-mental health nurses. The Code of Ethics for Nurses presents ethical values, obligations, duties and professional ideals, establishes an ethical standard, and confirms nursing's commitment to society.
