patient living in the community and diagnosed with serious and persistent mental
illness? Within 3months, the patient will:

a. deny suicidal ideation.

b. report a sense of well-being.

c. take medications as prescribed.

d. attend clinic appointments on

time.ANSWER: B

Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and
improvingrole performance.

The goal of recovery is to empower the individual with mental illness to achieve a sense
of meaning and satisfaction in life and to function at the highest possible level of
wellness. Theincorrect options focus on the classic medical model rather than recovery.

2. In the shift-change report, an off-going nurse criticizes a patient who wears
heavymakeup. Which comment by the nurse who receives the report best
demonstrates advocacy?

a. This is a psychiatric hospital. Craziness is what we are all about.

b. Lets all show acceptance of this patient by wearing lots of makeup too.

c. Your comments are inconsiderate and inappropriate. Keep the report objective.

d. Our patients need our help to learn behaviors that will help them get along in

society.ANSWER: D

Accepting patients needs for self-expression and seeking to teach skills that will
contributeto their well-being demonstrate respect and are important parts of advocacy.
The on-

, coming nurse needs to take action to ensure that others are not prejudiced against the
patient. Humor can be appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the
expense of respect for patients. Judging the off-going nurse in a critical way will create
conflict.

Nurses must show compassion for each other.

disorder.Which statement is an example of attending?

c. You will feel better after we get some antidepressant medication started for you.

d. Id like to sit with you a while so you may feel more comfortable talking with

me.ANSWER: D

Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurses commitment to the relationship
andreduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the patient and
demonstrates caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassurances are non-
therapeutic.

ANSWER: A

The nurses communication should evidence caring and a commitment to work with the
patient. This commitment lets the patient know the nurse will help. Probing and advice
arenot helpful or therapeutic interventions.
