After a nurse who had worked with persistently mentally ill clients transfers to the short-term inpatient unit, he tells his mentor, I'll never get used to playing cards or other games with cli-ents.
 
  It seems like a poor use of scarce nursing time. The best response for the mentor would be:
  1. Perhaps you'll want to rethink your transfer to this unit if you're really uncom-fortable.
  2. Your comments make a point about scarce resources. I'll ask the treatment team to review our position on activities.
  3. Activity co-leadership puts us in a position to help clients develop social skills and support them as they take small risks.
  4. Managed care has cost us activities therapists. Activities are necessary to give clients something to do, so we have to fill in.
