the client’s behaviors?

2. The client’s behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mentalillness.
3. The client’s behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
4. The client’s behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mentalillness.

feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations. Without significant impairment,
the client’s distress does not indicate a mental illness.

2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a mental illness?
When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria. When maladaptive responses to
stress are coupled with interference in daily functioning.
When a client communicates significant distress.
When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
