1. As part of a class activity, nursing students are engaged in a small group discussion about the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
epidemiology of mental illness. Which statement best explains the importance of epidemiology in
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
understanding the impact of mental disorders? Epidemiology:
L L L L L L L
A) Helps promote understanding of the patterns of occurrence associated with mental disorders.
L L L L L L L L L L L
B) Helps explain research findings about the neurophysiology that causes mental disorders.
L L L L L L L L L L
C) Provides a thorough theoretical explanation of why specific mental disorders occur.
L L L L L L L L L L
D) Predicts when a specific psychiatric client will recover from a specific mental disorder.

Feedback: Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease distribution and determinants of health L L L L L L L L L L L L
within populations. It contributes to the overall understanding of the mental health status of population
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
groups, or aggregates, and it examines the associations among possible factors. Epidemiology does not
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
explain research findings about neurophysiology, provide theoretical explanations for why specific
L L L L L L L L L L L
disorders occur, or predict recovery.

2. A nurse is working in a community mental health center that provides care to a large population of
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
people of Asian descent. When developing programs for this community, which of the following would be
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
most important for the nurse to address?
L L L L L L L
A) Public stigma L
B) Self-stigma

L L
Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this L L L L L L L L L L L L L
cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so as
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with mental health
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of mental illness that
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the symptoms or refuse to
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone, not just those of the Asian
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
culture.

client?

Feedback: Just as a person with diabetes should not be referred to as a <diabetic= but rather as a L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L

Feedback: The article is describing incidence, which refers to a rate that includes only new cases that
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
have occurred within a clearly defined time period. The most common time period evaluated is 1 year.
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Rate reflects the proportion of cases in the population compared with the total population. Prevalence refers
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
to the total number of people with the disorder within a given population at a specified time, regardless of
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
how long ago the disorder started. Point prevalence refers to the proportion of individuals in the population

that have a disorder at a specific point in time.

5. While working in a community mental health treatment center, the nurse overhears one of the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
receptionists saying that one of the clients is <really psycho.= Later in the day, the nurse talks with the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
receptionist about the comment. This action by the nurse demonstrates an attempt to address which issue?

Feedback: The receptionist's negative effects of stigmatization, more specifically public stigma. Self-
L L L L L L L L L L
stigma reflects a person's internalization of a negative stereotype; that is, the person with the mental illness
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
begins to believe that he or she is what the public thinks he or she is. Label avoidance refers to avoiding
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
treatment or care so as not to be labeled mentally ill. Lack of knowledge is often the underlying theme
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
associated with any type of stigma.

disorders?
