1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
client’s behaviors?
n5 n5
1.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate
n5 n5 n5
mental illness in the form of
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
depression.
n5
2.
The client’s behaviors are extensive,
n5 n5 n5 n5
which indicates the presence of mental
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
illness.
n5
3.
The client’s behaviors are not congruent
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
with cultural norms.
n5 n5 n5
, 4.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
n5 n5 n5 n5
functional impairment, indicating no
n5 n5 n5 n5
mental illness.
n5 n5
2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
for developing a mental illness?
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
1.
When thoughts, feelings, and n 5 n 5 n 5
behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-
n 5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
5 criteria.n5
2.
When maladaptive responses to stress n5 n5 n5 n5
are coupled with interference in daily
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
functioning.

3.
When a client communicates significant
n5 n5 n5 n5
distress.
n5
4. When a client uses defense mechanismsn5 n5 n5 n5 n5

3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
responses to the parents?
n5 n5 n5 n5
1.
Reactions to stress are relative rather n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
than absolute; individual responses to
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
stress vary.
n5 n5
2.
It is abnormal for identical twins to
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
react differently to similar stressors.
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
3.
Identical twins should share the same n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
temperament and respond similarly to
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
stress.
n5
4.
Environmental influences to stress n5 n5 n5
weigh more heavily than genetic
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
influences.

mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5 n5
