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
Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning
is not impaired. The client who experiences feelings of sadness after
the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations. Without
significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate a mental
illness.
