|| || || || || || ||
|| Patient Multiple Choice|| ||
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
1. Anurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional
| || || || || || || || ||
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
client’s behaviors?
|| ||
1.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate
|| || ||
mental illness in the form of
|| || || || || ||
depression.
||
2.
The client’s behaviors are extensive,
|| || || ||
which indicates the presence of mental
|| || || || || ||
illness.
||
3.
The client’s behaviors are not congruent
| | | || ||
with cultural norms.
|| || ||
4.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
|| || || ||
functional impairment, indicating no
|| || || ||
mental illness.
|| ||
2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
for developing a mental illness?
|| || || || ||
, 1.
When thoughts, feelings, and || || ||
behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-
|| || || || || || ||
5 criteria. ||
2.
When maladaptive responses to stress || || || ||
are coupled with interference in daily
|| || || || || ||
functioning.
||
3.
When a client communicates significant || || || ||
distress.
||
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms || || || || ||
as ego protection.
|| || ||
3. Anurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
| || || || || || | || || ||
respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
responses to the parents?
|| || || ||
1.
Reactions to stress are relative rather || || || || ||
than absolute; individual responses to
|| || || || ||
stress vary.
|| ||
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.
||
4.
Environmental influences to stress || || |
weigh more heavily than genetic
|| || || || ||
influences.

||
4. Which client should the nurse anticipate to be most
|| || || || || || || ||
receptive to psychiatric treatment?
|| || || ||
1. AJewish, female social worker.
| || || |
2. ABaptist, homeless male.
| || ||
3. ACatholic, black male.
| || ||
4. AProtestant, Swedish business executive.
| || || ||
5. Apsychiatric nurse intern states, “This client’s use of defense
| || || || || || || || ||
mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
|| || || || || || || || | || || ||
1.
Defense mechanisms can be || || ||
appropriate responses to stress and
|| || || || ||
need not be eliminated.
|| || || ||
, 2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive
|| || || ||
attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
|| || || || || || || ||
should always be eliminated.
|| || || ||
3.
Defense mechanisms, used ||by || ||
individuals with weak ego integrity,
|| || || || ||
should be discouraged and not
|| || || || ||
eliminated.
