Ans: B
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or
stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of
separateness and connectedness are bothneeded forgoodmental health, and therefore a
healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental
illness couldrelate to the biologic makeup of an individual, whichmay have a negative
impact on an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's
interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible,

3. Which of the following are true regarding mentalhealth andmental illness?
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always
unacceptable in other cultures.
B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior
and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
D) Persons who engagein fantasies are mentally
ill. Ans: C
Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may
see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are difficult
to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological,
and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective
behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage
in fantasiesmay be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguishreality from fantasyis
an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.


4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally
ill because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so much
pain.î
B) ìYouare not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
experienced.î
C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband's
death?î
D) ìTrynot to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.î
Ans: B
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered
mentalillness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's
concerns.

5. The nurseconsults the DSM forwhich of the following purposes?
A) Todevise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
B) Topredict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
C) Todocument the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
D) To serve as a guide for client assessment
Ans: D
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and
identifies underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or
prognostic outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the
generalist RN's scope of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record wouldbe
inappropriate.


6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
A) Identifying the medical diagnosis
B) Treatclients
C) Evaluate treatments
D) Understand the reasonfor the admissionand the nature of psychiatric
illnesses. Ans: D
Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a
helpful resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building
knowledgeabout the natureof psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis,
treating, and evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.

shifts in care for the mentally ill?
A) Thewidespreaduseof community-based services
B) The advancement in pharmacotherapies
C) Increasedaccess to hospitalization

admissions to hospitals, and the development of community-based services as an
alternative to hospital care.
