Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
v v v v v v v v
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
v v v v v v v v v v v v
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress
v v v v v v v v v v v v v

and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, andtherefore a

healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness
v v v v v v v v v v v v
could relate to thebiologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact onan individual's interpersonal and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive
v v v v v v v v v v v v
social/cultural factor isaccess to adequate resources.

v v v v v v v v v v
dependency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate to
v v v v v v v v v v v v
mental illness. Individuals sufferingfrom mental illness can feel overwhelmed with daily life.

unacceptable inothercultures.
v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v v v
C) In most cases, mental health isa state of emotional, psychological, and social
v v v v v v v v v v v v
wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior

and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
v v v v v v v
D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill. v v v v v v v
Ans: C
v v
Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may
v v v v v v v v v v v v
vsee that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are difficult
v v v v v v v v v v v v
vto define precisely. In most cases, mental health isa state of emotional, psychological, and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
social wellness evidenced bysatisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and
v v v v v v v v v v
coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in fantasies
v v v v v v v v v v v
may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
factor that may contribute to mental illness.

4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
v v v v v v v v v v v
A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so much v v v v v v v v v v v v
pain.î v
B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
experienced.î v
C) ìWere you generallydissatisfied with your relationship before your husband's v v v v v v v v v
death?î v
D) ìTry not to worryabout that right now. You never know what the future brings.î Ans:
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
B
v
Feedback:
Mental illness includesgeneraldissatisfaction withself, ineffective relationships, ineffective
v v v v v v v v v
coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
v v v v v v v v v v v v
, lOMoARcPSD|
v 11700591
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mental
v v v v v v v v v v v
illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's concerns.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
v v v v v v v v v v
A) To devise a plan of care for a newlyadmitted client
v v v v v v v v v v
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
v v v v v v v
C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
v v v v v v v v v v
D) To serve as a guide for client assessmentv v v v v v v
Ans: D
v v
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and identifies
v v v v v v v v v
underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or prognostic
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalist RN's scope of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
practice, so documenting the code in the medical record would be inappropriate.
v v v v v v v v v v v v
6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
v v v v v v v v v v v v
A) Identifying the medicaldiagnosis v v v
B) Treat clients v
C) Evaluatetreatments
D) Understand the reason for the admission and the nature of psychiatric illnesses. v v v v v v v v v v v
Ans: D
v v
Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a helpful
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building knowledge about
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the nature ofpsychiatricillnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis, treating, and evaluating
v v v v v v v v v v v v
treatments are not a part of the nursing process.

B) The advancement in pharmacotherapies v v v
C) Increased access to hospitalization v v v
D) Improved rights for clients in long-term institutional care v v v v v v v
Ans: A
v v
Feedback:

v v v v v v v v v v v v
individuals from long-term stays in state institutions, the decrease in admissions to hospitals,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
and the development of community-based services as an alternative to hospital care.

, lOMoARcPSD|
v 11700591
Commitment laws changed in the early 1970s, making it more difficult to commit v v v v v v v v v v v v
peoplefor mental healthtreatment against their will. Deinstitutionalization accomplished the
v v v v v v v v v v
release of individualsfrom long-term stays instate institutions. Deinstitutionalization also
v v v v v v v v v v v
had negative effects in that some mentally ill persons are subjected to the revolving door
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
effect, which may limit care for mentally ill persons.
v v v v v v v v v

B) deinstitutionalize state hospitals. v v
C) provide funds to build hospitals with psychiatric units. v v v v v v v
D) treat people with mental illness in a humane fashion. v v v v v v v v
Ans: B
v v
Feedback:
The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act intimated the movement toward treating
v v v v v v v v v v v
those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation resulted in the shift
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care based in the community.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Answer choices A, C, and D were not purposes of the 1963 Community MentalHealth
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Centers Act.

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