1.
illness in the form of depression.
TU
The client’s behaviors are extensive, which
2.
indicates the presence of mental illness.
The client’s behaviors are not congruent with
3.
cultural norms.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
4. functional impairment, indicating no mental
TO

4.
U
ego protection.
3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
R
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?
U
Reactions to stress are relative rather than
1. absolute; individual responses to stress
vary.
It is abnormal for identical twins to react
2.
differently to similar stressors.
Identical twins should share the same
3.
temperament and respond similarly to stress.
Environmental influences to stress weigh
4.
more heavily than genetic influences.

2. attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
should always be eliminated.
Defense mechanisms, used by individuals
3. with weak ego integrity, should be
discouraged and not eliminated.
R
Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of
4. the ego and should be fostered and
encouraged.
G
6. During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological
U
and psychosocial questions. The client angrily responds, “I’m here for my heart, not
my head problems.” Which is the nurse’s best response?
“It is just a routine part of our assessment. All
1. clients are asked these same
R
questions.”
“Why are you concerned about these types of
2.
questions?”
U
“Psychological factors, like excessive stress,
3. have been found to affect medical
conditions.”
“We can skip these questions, if you like. It
4. isn’t imperative that we complete this
section.”
