A
The psychiatric liaison nurse is an advanced practice nurse who provides patient care consultation to nurses outside of psychiatry and would be an ideal resource to help a nurse caring for a patient with emotional health needs. The other professionals might be able to be helpful, but problems such as these are the specialty of the liaison nurse.
