Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing
1. The nurse is assessing a newly admitted client with
cholecystitis. When performing the admission assessment,
which statement by the client is an indicator of optimal
mental health?
A. “I don’t need anyone in my life, I manage well on my
own.”
B. “I practice yoga regularly since it helps manage any
stress I am feeling.”
C. “My family has several people with mental health
problems.”
D. “I had a history of alcohol use disorder and have been sober for 2 months.”
Answer: B
Rationale: Individual factors influencing mental health include coping or stress
management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of
separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and
therefore a healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history
of mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may
have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. A recent history of the use
of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as alcohol does not indicate that the client
is mentally healthy.

, may be contributing to the client’s degree of mental illness? Select all that apply.

origin.

violent or criminal behavior. The client that attributes life’s problems to being
without family support is not able to find meaning in life. Being without support is
interpersonal determinant of mental illness.
