Chapter 1

,1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



admitted client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having a
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



positive impact on the individual's mental health?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) Not needing others for companionship dd dd dd dd



B) The ability to effectively manage stress dd dd dd dd dd



C) A family history of mental illness
dd dd dd dd dd



D) Striving for total self-reliance dd dd dd



Ans: B
dd d d



Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



life, emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



coping or stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



balance of separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



and therefore a healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



of mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



have a negative impact on an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



on an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



resources.
dd




2. Which of the following statements about mental illness are true? Select all that apply.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors. dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



C) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



dependency on or withdrawal from relationships.
dd dd dd dd dd dd



D) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



with daily life. dd dd dd



E) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



relationships and self.
dd dd dd



Ans: A, D, E d d dd dd



Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



illness may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



dependency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



to mental illness. Individuals suffering from mental illness can feel overwhelmed
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



with daily life. Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



with relationships and self.
dd dd dd dd

,3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



unacceptable in other cultures.
dd dd dd dd



B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill. dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



Ans: C
dd d d



Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



may see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



difficult to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



psychological, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



effective behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



ill because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



much pain.î dd dd



B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



have experienced.î
dd dd



C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband's
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



death?î dd



D) ìTry not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



brings.î Ans: B
dd dd d d



Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



be culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



considered mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



address the client's concerns.
dd dd dd dd

, 5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) To devise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



D) To serve as a guide for client assessment
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



Ans: D
dd d d



Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



identifies underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



prognostic outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



generalist RN's scope of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



would be inappropriate.
dd dd dd




6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) Identifying the medical diagnosis dd dd dd



B) Treat clients dd



C) Evaluate treatments dd



D) Understand the reason for the admission and the nature of psychiatric dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



illnesses. Ans: D
dd dd d d



Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



helpful resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



knowledge about the nature of psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis,
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



treating, and evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd




7. The legislation enacted in 1963 was largely responsible for which of the following
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



shifts in care for the mentally ill?
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



A) The widespread use of community-based services
dd dd dd dd dd



B) The advancement in pharmacotherapies
dd dd dd



C) Increased access to hospitalization dd dd dd



D) Improved rights for clients in long-term institutional care dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



Ans: A
dd d d



Feedback:
The Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 accomplished the
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



release of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions, the decrease in
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



admissions to hospitals, and the development of community-based services as an
dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd dd



alternative to hospital care.
