chapter 1. mental health and mental illness
multiple choice
1. a nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. the
clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed.
how should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
1. the clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of
depression.
2. the clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence
of mental illness.
3. the clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
4. the clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment,
indicating no mental illness.
correct answer>4
rationale: the nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is
not impaired. the client who experiences feelings of sadness after the
loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations. without
significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate a mental
illness.
cognitive level: analysis integrated process: assessment
2. at what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
for developing a mental illness?
,1. when thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the
dsm-5 criteria.
2. when maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with
interference in daily functioning.
3. when a client communicates significant distress.
4. when a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
correct answer>2
rationale: the nurse should determine that the client is at risk for
mental illness when responses to stress are maladaptive and interfere
with daily functioning. the dsm-5 indicates that in order to be
diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be
significantly impaired. the clients ability to communicate distress
would be considered a positive attribute.
cognitive level: application integrated process: assessment
3. a nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
respond very differently to stress. one twin becomes anxious and
irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. how should the nurse
explain these different stress responses to the parents?
1. reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual
responses to stress vary.
2. it is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar
stressors.
3. identical twins should share the same temperament and respond
similarly to stress.
4. environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than
genetic influences.
, correct answer>1
rationale: the nurse should explain to the parents that, although the
twins have identical dna, there are several other factors that affect
reactions to stress. mental health is a state of being that is relative to
the individual client. environmental influences and temperament can
affect stress reactions.
cognitive level: application integrated process: implementation
4. which client should the nurse anticipate to be most receptive to
psychiatric treatment?
1. a jewish, female social worker.
2. a baptist, homeless male.
3. a catholic, black male.
4. a protestant, swedish business executive.
correct answer>1
rationale: the nurse should anticipate that the client of jewish culture
would place a high importance on preventative health care and would
consider mental health as equally important as physical health.
women are also more likely to seek treatment for mental health
problems than men.
cognitive level: application integrated process: planning
5. a psychiatric nurse intern states, this clients use of defense
mechanisms should be eliminated. which is a correct evaluation of this
nurses statement?
