performing the admission assessment, which statement by the hospital client is an indicatorof
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.”
Accurate choice:->>B
REASONING :->> 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 useof maladaptive coping mechanisms such as alcohol does not indicate
that the hospital client is mentally healthy.
