Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,

independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



life, emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



coping or stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



balance of separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health,
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



and therefore a healthy person would need others for companionship. A family
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



history of mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



may have a negative impact on an individual's mental health, as well as a negative
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



impact on an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



self-reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



adequate resources. JY

, 3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



unacceptable in other cultures. JY JY JY

ill. Ans: C
JY J Y



Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



may see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



difficult to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional,
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



psychological, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships,
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



effective behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



ill because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



much pain.î JY



B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



have experienced.î JY



C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



husband's death?î JY



D) ìTry not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



brings.î Ans: B JY J Y



Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



be culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



considered mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY



address the client's concerns.
