,Chapter 1. Mental Health and Mental Illness Multiple Choice
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional feelings of sadness because of
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


the recent death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




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




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




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




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




illness. ANS: 4
yu yu yu




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


client who experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


normal expectations. Without significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


a mental illness.
yu yu yu




Cognitive Level: Analysis Integrated Process: Assessment
yu yu yu yu yu




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


mental illness?
yu yu




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




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




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




4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




protection. ANS: 2
yu yu yu




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


responses to stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


indicates that in order to be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


significantly impaired. The clients ability to communicate distress would be considered a
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


positive attribute.
yu yu




Cognitive Level: Application Integrated Process: Assessment
yu yu yu yu yu




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


stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


should the nurse explain these different stress responses to the parents?
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




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



2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu

, 4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




influences. ANS: 1
yu yu yu




Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have identical DNA,
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


there are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental health is a state of being
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


that is relative to the individual client. Environmental influences and temperament can
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


affect stress reactions.
yu yu yu




Cognitive Level: Application Integrated Process: Implementation
yu yu yu yu yu




4. Which client should the nurse anticipate to be most receptive to psychiatric treatment?
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




1. A Jewish, female social worker.
yu yu yu yu




2. A Baptist, homeless male.
yu yu yu




3. A Catholic, black male.
yu yu yu




4. A Protestant, Swedish business
yu yu yu




executive. ANS: 1
yu yu yu




Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the client of Jewish culture would place a high
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


importance on preventative health care and would consider mental health as equally
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


important as physical health. Women are also more likely to seek treatment for mental
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


health problems than men.
yu yu yu yu




Cognitive Level: Application Integrated Process: Planning
yu yu yu yu yu




5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, This clients use of defense mechanisms should
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


be eliminated. Which is a correct evaluation of this nurses statement?
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




1. Defense mechanisms can be appropriate responses to stress and need not be eliminated.
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


should always be eliminated.
yu yu yu yu




3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should be
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


discouraged and not eliminated.
yu yu yu yu



4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of the ego and should be
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


fostered andencouraged.
yu yu




ANS: 1 yu




Rationale: The nurse should determine that defense mechanisms can be appropriate during
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


times of stress. The client with no defense mechanisms may have a lower tolerance for
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


stress, thus leading to anxiety disorders. Defense mechanisms should be confronted when
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


they impede the client from developing healthy coping skills.
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu




Cognitive Level: Application Integrated Process: Evaluation
yu yu yu yu yu




6. During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological and psychosocial questions.
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


The client angrily responds, Im here for my heart, not my head problems. Which is the
yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu


nurses best response?
