MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which outcome, focused on recovery, would be expected in the plan of care for a client
living in the community and diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illness? Within 3
months, the client will:
a. deny suicidal ideation.
b. report a sense of well-being.
c. take medications as prescribed.
d. attend clinic appointments on time.
CORRECT: B
Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and improving role
performance. The goal of recovery is to empower the individual with mental illness to achieve a
sense of meaning and satisfaction in life and to function at the highest possible level of wellness.
The incorrect options focus on the classic medical model rather than recovery.
2. A client is hospitalized for depression and suicidal ideation after their spouse asks for a
divorce. Select the medics most caring comment.
a. Lets discuss some means of coping other than suicide when you have these feelings.
b. I understand why youre so depressed. When I got divorced, I was devastated too.
c. You should forget about your marriage and move on with your life.
d. How did you get so depressed that hospitalization was necessary?
CORRECT: A
The medics communication should evidence caring and a commitment to work with the client.
This commitment lets the client know the medic will help. Probing and advice are not helpful or
therapeutic interventions.

3. In the shift-change report, an off-going medic criticizes a client who wears heavy makeup.

c. Your comments are inconsiderate and inappropriate. Keep the report objective.
d. Our clients need our help to learn behaviors that will help them get along in society.
CORRECT: D
Accepting clients needs for self-expression and seeking to teach skills that will contribute to their
well-being demonstrate respect and are important parts of advocacy. The on-coming medic needs
to take action to ensure that others are not prejudiced against the client. Humor can be
appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the expense of respect for clients.
Judging the off-going medic in a critical way will create conflict. Medics must show compassion
for each other.
4. A medic assesses a newly admitted client diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Which
statement is an example of attending?
a. We all have stress in life. Being in a psychiatric hospital isnt the end of the world.
b. Tell me why you felt you had to be hospitalized to receive treatment for your depression.
c. You will feel better after we get some antidepressant medication started for you.
d. Id like to sit with you a while so you may feel more comfortable talking with me.
CORRECT: D
Attending is a technique that demonstrates the medics commitment to the relationship and
reduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the client and demonstrates
caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassurances are non-therapeutic.
5. A client shows the medic an article from the Internet about a health problem. Which
characteristic of the web sites address most alerts the medic that the site may have biased and
prejudiced information?
a. Address ends in .org.
b. Address ends in .com.
c. Address ends in .gov.
d. Address ends in .net.
CORRECT: B
Financial influences on a site are a clue that the information may be biased. .com at the end of
the address indicates that the site is a commercial one. .gov indicates that the site is maintained
by a government entity. .org indicates that the site is nonproprietary; the site may or may not
have reliable information, but it does not profit from its activities. .net can have multiple
