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.


ANSWER: 4

is not impaired. The client who experiences feelings of sadness after

the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations. Without

illness.


Cognitive Level:

Analysis Integrated

Process:

Assessment
