Chapter 1 Foundations of Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing
gy gy g y g y g y g y


1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


admitted client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having a
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


positive impact on the individual's mental health?
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


A) Not needing others for companionship gy gy gy gy


B) The ability to effectively manage stressgy gy gy gy gy


C) A family history of mental illness
gy gy gy gy gy


D) Striving for total self- gy gy gy


reliance Ans: B gy gy


Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


life, emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


coping or stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


balance of separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health,
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy

, and therefore a
gy gy gy




Page g y 2

, healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


negative impact on an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


resources.
gy




2. Which of the following statements about mental illness are true? Select all that apply.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors. gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


C) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


dependency on or withdrawal from relationships.
gy gy gy gy gy gy


D) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


with daily life.
gy gy gy


E) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


with relationships and self.
gy gy gy gy


Ans: A, D, E gy gy gy


Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


illness may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


Excessive dependency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


factors that relate to mental illness. Individuals suffering from mental illness can
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


feel overwhelmed with daily life. Individuals suffering from mental illness may
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


experience dissatisfaction with relationships and self.
gy gy gy gy gy gy



3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


unacceptable in other cultures.
gy gy gy gy


B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally gy gy gy gy gy gy


ill. Ans: C
gy gy gy


Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


may see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


are difficult to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


emotional, psychological, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


stability. Persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


contribute to mental illness.
gy gy gy gy




4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


mentally ill because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so
gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy gy


much pain.î gy gy


B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you
