ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
individual's mental health?
ni ni ni
A) Not needing others for companionship ni ni ni ni
B) Theabilityto effectivelymanage stress ni ni ni ni ni
C) A familyhistoryof mental illness ni ni ni ni ni
D) Strivingfortotalself-reliance ni ni ni
Ans: B ni ni
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy, ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
connectedness are both needed for good mentalhealth, and therefore a
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

healthyperson would need others for companionship. A familyhistoryof mentalillness could
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which mayhave a negative impact on an
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
2. Whichofthe followingstatements about mental illness aretrue? Select all that apply.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
A) Mentalillness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
B) Mental illness is onlydue to social/cultural factors. ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
C) Social/cultural factorsthat relateto mentalillness includeexcessivedependency on ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
or withdrawal from relationships. ni ni ni ni
D) Individualssuffering from mental illness are usuallyable to cope effectivelywith daily ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
life. ni
E) Individualssufferingfrom mental illness mayexperiencedissatisfaction with ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
relationships and self. ni ni ni
Ans: A, D, E n i ni ni
Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental illness
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive dependency
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate to mental illness.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Individuals suffering from mental illness can feel overwhelmed with dailylife. Individuals
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
sufferingfrom mentalillness mayexperience dissatisfaction with relationships and self.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
3. Whichofthe followingaretrue regardingmental health and mental illness?
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
A) Behaviorthat maybe viewedas acceptable in one culture isalways unacceptable in ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
other cultures. ni ni
B) It is easyto determine if a person is mentallyhealthyor mentallyill.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
wellness evidencedbysatisfying interpersonalrelationships,effectivebehavior
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
D) Personswho engage infantasiesarementallyill. ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ans: C
ni ni
Feedback:
What one societymayview as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may see
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are difficult to define
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping,
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in fantasies maybe
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
mentally healthy, but the inabilityto distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
that may contribute to mental illness.
ni ni ni ni ni ni
4. A client grievingthe recent loss of her husband asks if she is becomingmentallyill
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
A) ìYou mayhavea temporarymental illness because you are experiencingso much pain.î ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
B) ìYou are not mentallyill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
experienced.î ni
C) ìWereyou generallydissatisfiedwith yourrelationshipbefore yourhusband's ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
death?î ni
D) ìTrynot to worryabout that right now. You never knowwhat the future brings.î Ans: B ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships, ineffective
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionallythebehavior must not be
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
, lOMoAR n i cPSD|
ni11700591
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mental
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
illness. False reassurance or overanalysis doesnot accuratelyaddress the client's concerns.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
5. Thenurse consults the DSM for which of the followingpurposes?
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
A) To devise a plan of care for a newlyadmitted client
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
C) Todocument theappropriate diagnostic code in theclient's medical record
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
D) Toserveasa guide forclientassessment ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ans: D
ni ni
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and identifies
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or prognostic outcomes
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalistRN's scopeof practice, so
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
documentingthe code in the medical record would be inappropriate.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
A) Identifyingthemedicaldiagnosis ni ni ni
B) Treatclients ni
C) Evaluatetreatments ni
D) Understand the reason for the admission and the natureof psychiatric illnesses. Ans: ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
D
ni
Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a helpful
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building knowledgeabout
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
thenatureof psychiatricillnesses. Identifyingthemedical diagnosis, treating, and evaluating
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
treatments are not a part of the nursing process.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions, the decrease in admissions to

ni11700591
Commitment laws changed in the early 1970s, making it more difficult to commit people for ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
mental health treatment against their will. Deinstitutionalization accomplished the release
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions. Deinstitutionalization also had
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
negative effects in that some mentallyill persons are subjected to the revolvingdoor effect,
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
which maylimit carefor mentallyill persons.
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

D) treatpeoplewith mentalillness in ahumanefashion. ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ans: B
ni ni

The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act intimated the movement toward treating
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation resulted in the
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
community. Answer choices A, C, and D were not purposes of the 1963 Community Mental
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Health Centers Act.

Ans: B
ni ni
Feedback:
Theasylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for the
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
mentallyill. Asylums werenot used to improve treatment of mental disorders or to punish
ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
