multiple choice
question 1:
a nurse in a psychiatric inpatient unit is assessing a newly admitted patient’s mental
health status. which of the following findings is the most indicative of emotional
resilience?
a) expressing complete independence from others
b) demonstrating insight into stressors and using coping strategies
c) denying the existence of any emotional problems
d) expressing a desire to isolate from others permanently
Ans>> b
explanation:
emotional resilience, a key indicator of mental health, refers to the ability to recognize
stressors and use effective coping mechanisms. option b reflects the patient’s awareness
of their emotional state and their active effort to manage stress—core components of
psychological well-being. option a (complete independence) and option d (isolation)
reflect unhealthy extremes that may hinder social support, while option c suggests denial
or lack of insight, which can impede progress in treatment.

a psychiatric nurse is caring for a hospitalized client with major depression. the client
reports feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness. which nursing intervention is most
appropriate to support the client’s mental health recovery?
a) encourage the client to reflect on past mistakes
b) avoid discussing future plans to prevent anxiety
c) promote small, achievable goals and provide positive reinforcement
d) leave the client alone for most of the day to prevent overstimulation
Ans>> c
explanation:
promoting small, achievable goals with positive reinforcement (c) helps restore the
client’s sense of accomplishment and self-worth, which is critical in the care of
individuals with depression. option a can deepen feelings of guilt, option b avoids
necessary future planning (a goal in therapy), and option d may exacerbate isolation and
hopelessness. structured, supportive interaction is vital in psychiatric nursing care.
question 3:
