management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness

and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a
b b b b b b b b b b b b

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




could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




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




and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive

social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.

define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and

coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in fantasies may

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

death?î

Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
b b b b b b b b




ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mental
b b b b b b b b b b b b




illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's concerns.

C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
b b b b b b b b b b

Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and identifies
b b b b b b b b b




underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or prognostic
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalist RN's scope
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record would be inappropriate.

b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building knowledge about
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




the nature of psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis, treating, and
b b b b b b b b b b b




evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.
