Multiple Choice
v v




1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional feelings of sadness because of therecent
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
v v v v v v v




1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form ofdepression.
v v v v v v v v v v




2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental illness.
v v v v v v v v v v v




3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
v v v v v v v v




4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mental illness.
v v v v v v v v v v




ANSWER: 4 v




Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is not impaired. The clientwho
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Without significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate a mental illness.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Cognitive Level: Analysis v v




IntegratedProcess: Assessment
v v v




2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a mental
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




illness?
v




1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria.
v v v v v v v v v v v




2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in daily functioning.
v v v v v v v v v v v




3. When a client communicates significant distress.
v v v v v




4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
v v v v v v v v




ANSWER: 2 v




Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness when responsesto
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.
v v v v v v v v v




Cognitive Level: Application v v




IntegratedProcess: Assessment
v v v




3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very differently to stress.One
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




these different stress responses to the parents?
v v v v v v v




1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stress vary.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




2. It isabnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
v v v v v v v v v v v




3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.
v v v v v v v v v v v




4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences. v v v v v v v v v

, ANSWER: 1 v




Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have identical DNA,there
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental health is a stateof being thatis relative to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the individual client. Environmental influences and temperament can affect stress reactions.
v v v v v v v v v v v

4. Which client should the nurse anticipate to be most receptive to psychiatric treatment?1. A
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Jewish, female social worker.
v v v v




2. A Baptist, homeless male.
v v v




3. A Catholic, black male.
v v v




4. A Protestant, Swedish business executive.
v v v v




ANSWER: 1 v




Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the client of Jewish culture would place a high importance
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




on preventative health care and would consider mental health as equally important asphysical health.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Women are also more likely to seek treatment for mental health problems than men.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Cognitive Level: Application v v




Integrated Process: Planning
v v v




5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, This clients use of defense mechanisms should be eliminated.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




Which is a correct evaluation of this nurses statement?
v v v v v v v v v




1. Defense mechanisms can be appropriate responses to stress and need not be eliminated.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manage anxiety andshould
v v v v v v v v v v v v




always be eliminated.
v v v




3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should be discouragedandnot
v v v v v v v v v v v v




eliminated.
v




4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of the ego and should be fostered andencouraged.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




ANSWER: 1 v




Rationale: The nurse should determine that defense mechanisms can be appropriate during timesof
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




stress. The client with no defense mechanisms may have a lower tolerance for stress, thus leading to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




anxiety disorders. Defense mechanisms should be confronted when they impede the client from
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




developing healthy coping skills.
v v v v




Cognitive Level: Application v v




IntegratedProcess: Evaluation
v v v




6. During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological and psychosocial questions. Theclient
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




angrily responds, Im here for my heart, not my head problems. Which is the nurses best response?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




1. Its just a routine part of our assessment. All clients are asked these same questions.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




2. Why are you concerned about these types ofquestions?
v v v v v v v v




3. Psychological factors, like excessive stress, have been found to affect medicalconditions. v v v v v v v v v v v




4. We can skip these questions, if you like. It isnt imperative that we complete this section.
