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

4.

weigh more heavily than genetic
2c 2c 2c 2c 2c

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