NR 546 Midterm Exam Questions and Answers
Latest Update 2024
1. What should the PMHNP consider when prescribing chemical restraints?

-allergy status

-prior med hx for adverse drug reactions r/t the meds ordered in the
chemical restraint

-state regulations regarding chemical restrains must be
reviewed

2. Are the PMHNP and other staff liable if the client has an allergic reaction

or adverse side effects to the drugs used for chemical restraint?

No.

The client has been court-ordered to take the prescribed medications and
the standing

order for chemical restraints is approved. The PMHNP and other staff are not
liable if

the patient has an allergic reaction or adverse side effects.

3. How does reviewing the genetic makeup of a client help guide the

PMHNP in selecting medication for clients?

-Genetic testing can assist by providing more information on how clients may
respond to

certain psychotropic medications

-provides information on how a client may break down and metabolize
medications

based on the cytochrome P450 system.

4. Tanrıkulu and Erbaş (2020) investigated identical twins to determine the

presence of an inherited link for schizophrenia and why one twin may

develop schizophrenia when the other does not. When two people have

100% identical DNA, why don't both persons develop the exact

illnesses?

Studies of identical Danish twins found that if one twin had schizophrenia,

the other twin had a 50% lifetime risk of developing schizophrenia

(Lemvigh et al., 2020). Why is there only half the risk?

Both environmental and psychosocial stressors can impact mental health.
Although

twins may have identical genes, their gene expression may be
different.



There may be an environmental exposure that turned a gene "on" that
should have

been "off" for one twin to develop schizophrenia and not the
other.

keeps us alert to what is going on around us

13. sensory cortex

pain, heat, and other sensations

14. motor cortex

movement

15. hippocampus

involved in both memory and anxiety

16. nucleus accumbens

involved in the reward process

17. thalamus

involved in sensory organ and motor command processing

18. striatum

involved in complex motor actions, also links cognition to motor
actions

19. limbic system

includes circuits that are associated with pleasure and
reward

20. basal ganglia

group of structures involved in voluntary motor movements

21. amygdala

involved in emotional regulation and perception of odors

22. corpus callosum

controls the communication between the two brain
hemispheres

24. grey matter

contains nerve cells and dendrites

25. brain tissue

made up of grey matter and white matter

26. dorsal striatum

involved in complex motor actions and linkage of cognition to motor
actions

-main input area for basal ganglia

*activated when anticipating or engaging in pleasure

27. The field of epigenetics is rapidly growing and can help explain how

gene expression is:

influenced by environmental factors and how epigenetics contributes to
the

manifestation of mental illness

28. How does epigenetics impact a person's mental health?

internal or external factors activate portions of the genome that result
in the

manifestation of mental health symptoms

-activation is often a result of a stressful event, which, when combined with
the genetic

risk, results in the disease

-genes being on or off

-occurrence of symptoms may be the result of inheritance of an abnormal
gene or of

normal genes being "on" when they should be "off."

29. Types of epigenetic changes:
