c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
c c c c c c c




1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form ofdepression.
c c c c c c c c c c

c c c c c c c c c c c

c c c c c c c c




4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mentalillness.
c c c c c c c c c c




ANSWER: 4 c

c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c

illness?
c

c c c c c c c c c c c

c c c c c c c c c c c




3. When a client communicates significant distress.
c c c c c




4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
c c c c c c c c




ANSWER: 2 c




Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness when responsesto
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.

3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond verydifferently to stress.One
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




these different stress responses to the parents?
c c c c c c c




1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stressvary.
c c c c c c c c c c c c




2. It isabnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
c c c c c c c c c c c




3. Identical twins should share the sametemperament and respond similarly to stress.
c c c c c c c c c c c




4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences. c c c c c c c c c
