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
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




recent death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have not
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




changed. How should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
J J J J J J J J




1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of depression.
J J J J J J J J J J




2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental illness.
J J J J J J J J J J J




3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
J J J J J J J J




4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mental illness.
J J J J J J J J J J J




ANS: 4 J




Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is not impaired. The client
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




who experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




expectations. Without significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate a mental
J J J J J J J J J J J J




illness.
Cognitive Level: Analysis Integrated Process: Assessment
J J J J J




2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a mental
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




illness?
1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria.
J J J J J J J J J J J




2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in daily functioning.
J J J J J J J J J J J




3. When a client communicates significant distress.
J J J J J




4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
J J J J J J J J J




ANS: 2 J




Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness when responses to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in order to
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




ability to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.
J J J J J J J J J




Cognitive Level: Application Integrated Process: Assessment
J J J J J




3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very differently to stress.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How should the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J




nurse explain these different stress responses to the parents?
J J J J J J J J




1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stress vary.
