a r by a r staying arinvolved a r with a r a a r patient. a r Providing a r medication a r and a r information

a r on a r existing a r illnesses a r are arexamples a r of a r secondary a r prevention a r which a r helps

a r to a r reduce a r the a r prevalence a r of a r mental ardisorders. a r Assisting a r a a r mentally a r ill

A a r primary a r factor a r in a r patient a r treatment a r includes a r consideration a r of a r the
a r patient‘s a r intentions arregarding a r his a r or a r her a r own a r care. a r Patients a r are a r central

a r to a r the a r process a r that a r determines a r their arcare a r as a r their a r abilities a r allow. a r Under

a r the a r guidance a r of a r PMH a r nurses a r and a r other a r mental a r health arpersonnel, a r patients

a r are a r encouraged a r to a r make a r decisions a r and a r to a r actively a r engage a r in

a r their arown a r treatment a r plans a r to a r meet a r their a r needs. a r The a r remaining a r options

a r are a r focused a r on arspecificsof arthe ardetermined arplan arof arcare.

4. When a r a a r patient‘s a r family a r asks a r why a r their a r chronically a r mentally a r ill a r adult
a r child a r is a r being ardischarged a r to a r a a r community-based a r living a r facility, a r the

a r nurse a r responds:


a. ―It a r is a r a a r way a r to a r meet a r the a r need a r for a r social a r support.‖
b. ―It a r is a r too ar expensive a r to ar keep ar stabilized ar patients a r in ar acute a r care
a r settings.‖


c. ―This a r type a r of a r facility ar will a r provide a r the a r specialized ar care a r that a r is a r needed.‖
d. ―Being a r out a r in a r the a r community a r will a r help a r provide a r hope a r and a r purpose
a r for a r living.‖

ANS: a r D
Hospitalization a r may a r be a r necessary a r for a r acute a r care, a r but, a r when a r patients a r are
a r stabilized, a r they a r move a r into a r community-based, a r patient-centered a r settings a r or a r are

a r discharged a r home a r with arcontinued a r outpatient a r treatment a r in a r the a r community.

a r Concentrated a r efforts a r are a r made a r to arreduce a r the a r patient‘s a r sick a r role a r by

a r providing a r opportunities a r for a r the a r development a r of a r a arpurposeful a r life a r and

arinstilling a r hope a r for a r each a r patient‘s a r future. a r Although arsocial a r support a r is arimportant,

a r such a r a a r living a r arrangement a r is a r not a r the a r only a r way a r to a r achieve a r it. a r Although

a r acute arcare a r is a r expensive, a r it a r is a r not a r the a r major a r concern a r when a r determining

a r long-term a r care a r options. arCommunity-based a r facilities a r are a r not a r the a r only a r option

a r for a r specialized a r care.

5. What a r is a r the a r best a r explanation a r to a r offer a r when a r the a r mother a r of a r a
a r chronically a r ill a r teenage arpatient a r asks, a r ―Under a r what a r circumstances

a r would a r he a r be a r considered a r incompetent?‖
a. ―When aryou a r can arprovide arthe a r court arwith arenough arevidence a r to arshow arthat arhe
a r is a r not arable arto arcare arfor arhimself arsafely.‖


b. ―It a r is a r not a r likely a r that a r someone a r his a r age a r would a r be a r determined a r to
a r be a r incompetent arregardless arof arhis armental arcondition.‖


c. ―He a r would a r have a r to a r engage a r in a r behavior a r that a r would a r result ar in a r harm
a r to a r himself a r or a r to arsomeone arelse; arlike aryou aror arhis arsiblings.‖


d. ―If a r the a r illness a r becomes a r so a r severe a r that a r his a r judgment a r is a r impaired a r to
a r the a r point a r whe arthe a r decisions a r he a r makes a r are arharmful a r to arhimself aror arto re
arothers.‖

ANS: a r D
When a r a a r person a r is a r unable a r to a r cognitively a r process a r information a r or a r to
a r make a r decisions a r about arhis a r or a r her a r own a r welfare, a r the a r person a r may a r be

a r determined a r to a r be a r mentally a r incompetent.

Providing a r self-care a r is a r not a r the a r only a r criteria a r considered. a r Age a r is a r not a r a
a r factor a r considered. a r The ardecision aris a r often a r based a r on a r the a r potential a r for a r such

a r behavior.
