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

5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?

D) To serve as a guide for client assessment
dg dg dg dg dg dg dg dg



Ans: D dg

The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and identif

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

utcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalist RN's scop
