Chapter 1. Mental Health and Mental Illness

Multiple Choice l




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


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


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


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


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


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


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




ANS: 4 l


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


experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


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

Integrated Process: Assessment

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


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


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


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


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




ANS: 2 l


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


stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


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


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

Integrated Process: Assessment

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


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


explain these different stress responses to the parents?
l l l l l l l l


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


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

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


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