, Chapter 1. Mental Health and
Mental Illness 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.
Cognitive Level:
Analysis Integrated
Process: Assessment
2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
for developing a mental illness?
1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5
criteria.
2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in
daily functioning.
3. When a client communicates significant distress.
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
ANSWER: 2
Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for
mental illness when responses to stress are maladaptive and interfere
with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in order to be
diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly
impaired. The clients ability to communicate distress would be
considered a positive attribute.
