Test Bank Questions, Chapter 1, Foundations of Psychiatric–
Mental Health Nursing
1. The nurse is assessing a newly admitted client with cholecystitis. When
performing the admission assessment, which statement by the client is an indicator
of optimal mental health?
A. “I don’t need anyone in my life, I manage well on my own.”
B. “I practice yoga regularly since it helps manage any stress I am feeling.”
C. “My family has several people with mental health problems.”
D. “I had a history of alcohol use disorder and have been sober for 2 months.”
Answer: B
Rationale: Individual factors influencing mental health include coping or stress
management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of
separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and
therefore a healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history

have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. A recent history of the use
of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as alcohol does not indicate that the client
is mentally healthy.
