Chapter 1. Mental Health and Mental Illness Multiple Choice
1. A nurse\ is\ assessing\ a\ client\ who\ is\ experiencing\ occasional\ feelings\ of\ sadness\ because\ of\ the\
recent\ death\ of\ a\ beloved\ pet.\ The\ clients\ appetite,\ sleep\ patterns,\ and\ daily\ routine\ have\ not\
changed.\ How\ should\ the\ nurse\ interpret\ the\ clients\ behaviors?
1. The\ clients\ behaviors\ demonstrate\ mental\ illness\ in\ the\ form\ of\ depression.
2. The\ clients\ behaviors\ are\ extensive,\ which\ indicates\ the\ presence\ of\ mental\ illness.
3. The\ clients\ behaviors\ are\ not\ congruent\ with\ cultural\ norms.
4. The\ clients\ behaviors\ demonstrate\ no\ functional\ impairment,\ indicating\ no\ mental\ illness.\
ANS:\ 4
Rationale:\ The\ nurse\ should\ assess\ that\ the\ clients\ daily\ functioning\ is\ not\ impaired.\ The\ client\
who\ experiences\ feelings\ of\ sadness\ after\ the\ loss\ of\ a\ pet\ is\ responding\ within\ normal\
expectations.\ Without\ significant\ impairment,\ the\ clients\ distress\ does\ not\ indicate\ a\ mental\
illness.
Cognitive\ Level:\ Analysis\ Integrated\ Process:\ Assessment
2. At\ what\ point\ should\ the\ nurse\ determine\ that\ a\ client\ is\ at\ risk\ for\ developing\ a\ mental\
illness?
1. When\ thoughts,\ feelings,\ and\ behaviors\ are\ not\ reflective\ of\ the\ DSM-5\ criteria.
2. When\ maladaptive\ responses\ to\ stress\ are\ coupled\ with\ interference\ in\ daily\ functioning.
3. When\ a\ client\ communicates\ significant\ distress.
4. When\ a\ client\ uses\ defense\ mechanisms\ as\ ego\ protection.\
ANS:\ 2
Rationale:\ The\ nurse\ should\ determine\ that\ the\ client\ is\ at\ risk\ for\ mental\ illness\ when\ responses\
to\ stress\ are\ maladaptive\ and\ interfere\ with\ daily\ functioning.\ The\ DSM-5\ indicates\ that\ in\ order\
to\ be\ diagnosed\ with\ a\ mental\ illness,\ daily\ functioning\ must\ be\ significantly\ impaired.\ The\
clients\ ability\ to\ communicate\ distress\ would\ be\ considered\ a\ positive\ attribute.
Cognitive\ Level:\ Application\ Integrated\ Process:\ Assessment
3. A\ nurse\ is\ assessing\ a\ set\ of\ 15-year-old\ identical\ twins\ who\ respond\ very\ differently\ to\ stress.\
One\ twin\ becomes\ anxious\ and\ irritable,\ and\ the\ other\ withdraws\ and\ cries.\ How\ should\ the\
nurse\ explain\ these\ different\ stress\ responses\ to\ the\ parents?
1. Reactions\ to\ stress\ are\ relative\ rather\ than\ absolute;\ individual\ responses\ to\ stress\ vary.
