ANS: B x



Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and improving role p
x x x x x x x x x x



erformance. The goal of recovery is to empower the individual with mental illness to achieve a sens
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



e of meaning and satisfaction in life and to function at the highest possible level of wellness. The inc
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



orrect options focus on the classic medical model rather than recovery.
x x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



orce. Select the nurses most caring comment.

x x x x x x x x x x x



d. How did you get so depressed that hospitalization was necessary? A
x x x x x x x x x x

The nurses communication should evidence caring and a commitment to work with the patient. This
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



commitment lets the patient know the nurse will help. Probing and advice are not helpful or therape
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



utic interventions. x

x x x x x



going nurse criticizes a patient who wears heavy makeup. Which comment by the nurse who recei
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



ves the report best demonstrates advocacy?
x x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x



b. Lets all show acceptance of this patient by wearing lots of makeup too.
x x x x x x x x x x x x

, c. Your comments are inconsiderate and inappropriate. Keep the report objective.
x x x x x x x x x

S: Dx



Accepting patients needs for self- x x x x



expression and seeking to teach skills that will contribute to their well-
x x x x x x x x x x x



being demonstrate respect and are important parts of advocacy. The on-
x x x x x x x x x x



coming nurse needs to take action to ensure that others are not prejudiced against the patient. Humo
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



r can be appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the expense of respect for patients.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



Judging the off- x x



going nurse in a critical way will create conflict. Nurses must show compassion for each other.

x x x x x x x x x x x x x



ement is an example of attending?

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



c. You will feel better after we get some antidepressant medication started for you.
x x x x x x x x x x x x



d. Id like to sit with you a while so you may feel more comfortable talking with me. AN
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



S: Dx



Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurses commitment to the relationship and reduces f
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



eelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the patient and demonstrates caring. Generali
x x x x x x x x x x x x x



zations, probing, and false reassurances are non-therapeutic.
x x x x x x

c. Address ends in .gov. x x x



d. Address ends in .net. x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



ddress indicates that the site is a commercial one. .gov indicates that the site is maintained by a gov
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



ernment entity. .org indicates that the site is nonproprietary; the site may or may not have reliable in
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



formation, but it does not profit from its activities. .net can have multiple
