CHAPTER 1:Self-Awareness
1. On the first day of a psychiatric-mental health nursing clinical, a student nurse is assigned
to work with a 24-year-old male client who is being treated for major depression due to a
recent diagnosis of AIDS. Which of the following questions of the nurse would reflect
prejudice regarding the client?
A) “Does depression often occur when young people get a diagnosis of AIDS?”
B) “What is the physiological reason that depression might happen in conjunction with
this diagnosis?”
C) “Does the client's family know he is depressed and in treatment? I haven't seen any
visitors since he was admitted.”
D) “Why do gay men seem to get depressed more often? Could it be related to IV drug
abuse?”
Ans: D
Feedback:
Prejudice is a judgment or opinion (“preconceived notion”) that has been made or formed
before any knowledge or facts have been gathered. In option D, the student has already
assumed that because the client has AIDS, he is gay and also may use IV drugs, and
therefore, the student's question reflects prejudice. Asking a question regarding the
development of depression following a diagnosis of AIDS in young people, investigating
the physiologic reason for depression occurring in a client diagnosed with AIDS, and
determining if the client's family has knowledge of the depression are all relevant
questions posed by the student nurse.


2. Which of the following would be the most therapeutic student nurse response to the
client's question, “Hi. What is your name?”
A) “My name is Dorothy, and I am a student nurse at Oakdale University School of
Nursing.”
B) “Why do you ask?”
C) “It is interesting that you would ask about my name. What is your name?”
D) “I would like to tell you; however, it is against the policy at Oakdale Hospital to
reveal personal information.”
Ans: A
Feedback:
There are clinical situations in which it is unadvisable to provide personal information
about oneself. However, other situations merit the cautious sharing of personal
information; this is one. Providing her name gives the student credibility and establishes
trust. To withhold this type of information would make the client uncomfortable and
possibly suspicious of the student.


3. The student nurse is beginning her first day of clinical in a mental health unit. The nurse
realizes that therapeutic communication can occur even if the nurse is not certain of how
to initiate the conversation. This is because?
A) It does not matter what you say to the client.
B) Sincerity, honesty, respect, and caring are the most important elements in
communication and will overcome anything you may say that could be
