B) The’ability’to’effectively’manage’stress
C) A’family’history’of’mental’illness

Feedback:
Individual’factors’influencing’mental’health’include’biologi
c’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’abilitie
s.’Interpersonal’factors’such’as’intimacy’and’a’balance’of’sep
arateness’and’connectedness’are’both’needed
for’good’mental’health,’and’therefore’ahealthy’person’would’need’others’for’companions
hip.’A’family’history’of’mental’illnesscould’relate’to’the’biologic’makeup’of’an’individua
l,’which’may’have’a’negative’impacton’an’individual's’mental’health,’as’well’as’a’negativ
e’impact’on’an’individual's’interpersonal’and’socialñcultural’factors’of’health.’Total’self-
reliance’is’not’possible,’and’a’positive’social/cultural’factor’is’access’to’adequate’resourc
es.

2. Which’of’the’following’statements’about’mental’illness’are’true?’Select’all’that’apply.
A) Mental’illness’can’cause’significant’distress,’impaired’functioning,’or’both.
B) Mental’illness’is’only’due’to’social/cultural’factors.
C) Social/cultural’factors’that’relate’to’mental’illness’include’excessive’dependency’o
n’or’withdrawal’from’relationships.
D) Individuals’suffering’from’mental’illness’are’usually’able’to’cope’effectively’with’d
aily’life.
E) Individuals’suffering’from’mental’illness’may’experience’dissatisfaction’with’r
elationships’and’self.
Ans:’A,’D,’E
Feedback:
Mental’illness’can’cause’significant’distress,’impaired’functioning,’or’both.’Mental’illnes
s’may’be’related’to’individual,’interpersonal,’or’social/cultural’factors.’Excessive’depend
ency’on’or’withdrawal’from’relationships’are’interpersonal’factors’that’relate’to’mental’il
lness.’Individuals’suffering’from’mental’illness’can’feel’overwhelmed’with’daily’life.’Ind
ividuals’suffering’from’mental’illness’may’experience’dissatisfaction’with’relationships’a
nd’self.

,3. Which’of’the’following’are’true’regarding’mental’health’and’mental’illness?
A) Behavior’that’may’be’viewed’as’acceptable’in’one’culture’is’always’unacceptable’i
n’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’we
llness’evidenced’by’satisfying’interpersonal’relationships,’effective’behavior’and
’coping,’positive’self-concept,’and’emotional’stability.
D) Persons’who’engage’in’fantasies’are’mentally’ill.’
Ans:’ C
Feedback:
What’one’society’may’view’as’acceptable’and’appropriate’behavior,’another’society’may’s
ee’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’s
ocial’wellness’evidenced’by’satisfying’interpersonal’relationships,’effective’behavior’and’
coping,’positive’self-
concept,’and’emotional’stability.’Persons’who’engage’in’fantasies’may’be’mentally’health
y,’but’the’inability’to’distinguish’reality’from’fantasy’is’an’individual’factor’that’may’contr
ibute’to’mental’illness.

4. A’client’grieving’the’recent’loss’of’her’husband’asks’if’she’is’becoming’mentally’ill’b
ecause’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’p
ain.î
B) ìYou’are’not’mentally’ill.’This’is’an’expected’reaction’to’the’loss’you’have’e
xperienced.î
C) ìWere’you’generally’dissatisfied’with’your’relationship’before’your’husband's’
death?î
D) ìTry’not’to’worry’about’that’right’now.’You’never’know’what’the’future’brings.î’A
ns:’ B
Feedback:
Mental’illness’includes’general’dissatisfaction’with’self,’ineffective’relationships,’ineffect
ive’coping,’and’lack’of’personal’growth.’Additionally’the’behavior’must’not’be’culturally’
expected.’Acute’grief’reactions’are’expected’and’therefore’not’considered’mental’illness.’
False’reassurance’or’overanalysis’does’not’accurately’address’the’client's’concerns.

,5. The’nurse’consults’the’DSM’for’which’of’the’following’purposes?’
A) To’devise’a’plan’of’care’for’a’newly’admitted’client
B) To’predict’the’client's’prognosis’of’treatment’outcomes
C) To’document’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’identifi
es’underlying’causes’of’mental’disorders.’It’does’not’provide’care’plans’or’prognostic’out
comes’of’treatment.’Diagnosis’of’mental’illness’is’not’within’the’generalist’RN's’scope’of
’practice,’so’documenting’the’code’in’the’medical’record’would’be’inappropriate.

6. Which’would’be’a’reason’for’a’student’nurse’to’use’the’DSM?’
A) Identifying’the’medical’diagnosis
B) Treat’clients
C) Evaluate’treatments
D) ‘Understand’the’reason’for’the’admission’and’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’knowledge’abou
t’the’nature’of’psychiatric’illnesses.’Identifying’the’medical’diagnosis,’treating,’and’evalua
ting’treatments’are’not’a’part’of’the’nursing’process.

7. The’legislation’enacted’in’1963’was’largely’responsible’for’which’of’the’following’shifts’i
n’care’for’the’mentally’ill?
A) The’widespread’use’of’community-based’services
B) The’advancement’in’pharmacotherapies
C) Increased’access’to’hospitalization
D) Improved’rights’for’clients’in’long-
term’institutional’care’Ans:’ A
Feedback:
The’Community’Mental’Health’Centers’Construction’Act’of’1963’accomplished’the’relea
se’of’individuals’from’long-
term’stays’in’state’institutions,’the’decrease’in’admissions’to’hospitals,’and’the’developm
ent’of’community-based’services’as’an’alternative’to’hospital’care.

, 8. Which’one’of’the’following’is’a’result’of’federal’legislation?
A) Making’it’easier’to’commit’people’for’mental’health’treatment’against’their’will.

heir’will.
C) State’mental’institutions’being’the’primary’source’of’care’for’mentally’ill’persons.
D) Improved’care’for’mentally’ill’persons.’
Ans:’ B
Feedback:
Commitment’laws’changed’in’the’early’1970s,’making’it’more’difficult’to’commit’people
’for’mental’health’treatment’against’their’will.’Deinstitutionalization’accomplished’the’re
lease’of’individuals’from’long-
term’stays’in’state’institutions.’Deinstitutionalization’also’had’negative’effects’in’that’so
me’mentally’ill’persons’are’subjected’to’the’revolving’door’effect,’which’may’limit’care’f
or’mentally’ill’persons.

9. The’goal’of’the’1963’Community’Mental’Health’Centers’Act’was’to
A) ensure’patients'‘rights’for’the’mentally’ill.
B) deinstitutionalize’state’hospitals.
C) provide’funds’to’build’hospitals’with’psychiatric’units.
D) treat’people’with’mental’illness’in’a’humane’fashion.’
Ans:’ B
Feedback:
The’1963’Community’Mental’Health’Centers’Act’intimated’the’movement’toward’treati
ng’those’with’mental’illness’in’a’less’restrictive’environment.’This’legislation’resulted’in’
the’shift’of’clients’with’mental’illness’from’large’state’institutions’to’care’based’in’the’co
mmunity.’Answer’choices’A,’C,’and’D’were’not’purposes’of’the’1963’Community’Mental
’Health’Centers’Act.

A) improve’treatment’of’mental’disorders.
B) provide’food’and’shelter’for’the’mentally’ill.
C) punish’people’with’mental’illness’who’were’believed’to’be’possessed.
D) remove’dangerous’people’with’mental’illness’from’the’community.’
Ans:’ B
Feedback:
The’asylum’was’meant’to’be’a’safe’haven’with’food,’shelter,’and’humane’treatment’for’the’
mentally’ill.’Asylums’were’not’used’to’improve’treatment’of’mental’disorders’or’to’punish’
mentally’ill’people’who’were’believed’to’be’possessed.’The’asylum’was’not’created’to’rem
ove’the’dangerously’mentally’ill’from’the’community.
