1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
being of a newly admitted client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
having a positive impact on the individual's mental health?
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
A) Not needing others for companionship LL LL LL LL
B) The ability to effectively manage stress LL LL LL LL LL
C) A family history of mental illness LL LL LL LL LL
D) Striving for total self- LL LL LL
reliance Ans: B LL L L
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy, inde
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
pendence, self- LL
esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life, emotional resilien
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ce or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress managem
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ent abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a healthy person
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness could relate t
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
o the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on an indi
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
vidual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's interpersonal an
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
d socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-
LL LL LL LL LL LL
reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate reso
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
urces.

h daily life. LL LL
E) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction wit LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
h relationships and self. LL LL LL
Ans: A, D, E L L LL LL
Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental illn
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ess may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive de
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
pendency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate to m

,3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always unacceptabl
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
e in other cultures.LL LL LL
B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavio
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
r and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
. Ans: C
LL L L
Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society ma
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
y see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are diffi
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
cult to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psycholog
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ical, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective b
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ehavior and coping, positive self-
LL LL LL LL
concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally hea
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
lthy, but the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that ma
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
y contribute to mental illness.

4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally i
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ll because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so muc
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
h pain.î LL
B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you hav
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
e experienced.î LL
C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband'
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
s death?î LL
D) ìTry not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
.î Ans: B
LL L L
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships, ineff
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be cult
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
urally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered ment
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
al illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's con
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
cerns.

,5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
A) To devise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
D) To serve as a guide for client assessmen
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
t Ans: D
LL L L
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and ident
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ifies underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or prognost
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ic outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalist RN's
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL L
scope of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record would be inappropri
L LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ate.
6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
A) Identifying the medical diagnosis LL LL LL
B) Treat clients LL
C) Evaluate treatments LL
D) Understand the reason for the admission and the nature of psychiatric illnesses LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
. Ans: D
LL L L
Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a he
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
lpful resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building knowl
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
edge about the nature of psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis, treatin
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
g, and evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.

LL LL LL LL LL
B) The advancement in pharmacotherapies LL LL LL
C) Increased access to hospitalization LL LL LL
D) Improved rights for clients in long- LL LL LL LL LL
term institutional care Ans: A
LL LL LL L L
Feedback:
The Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 accomplished the rel
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
ease of individuals from long-
LL LL LL LL
term stays in state institutions, the decrease in admissions to hospitals, and the develo
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
pment of community-based services as an alternative to hospital care.

C) State mental institutions being the primary source of care for mentally ill persons.
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
D) Improved care for mentally ill persons. LL LL LL LL LL
Ans: B
LL L L
Feedback:
Commitment laws changed in the early 1970s, making it more difficult to commit
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
people for mental health treatment against their will. Deinstitutionalization accom
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
plished the release of individuals from long-
LL LL LL LL LL LL
term stays in state institutions. Deinstitutionalization also had negative effects in t

hat some mentally ill persons are subjected to the revolving door effect, which ma
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
y limit care for mentally ill persons.

C) provide funds to build hospitals with psychiatric units. LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
D) treat people with mental illness in a humane fashion

C) punish people with mental illness who were believed to be possessed.
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
D) remove dangerous people with mental illness from the community LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
. Ans: B
LL L L
Feedback:
The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
the mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders or t
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
o punish mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not
LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL LL
created to remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.
