MULTIPLE CHOICE NJNJ




1. A newly licensed nurse asks a nursing recruiter for a description of nursing
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




NJNJ practice in the psychiatric setting. What is the nurse recruiter‘s best response?
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




a. ―The nurse primarily serves in a supportive role to members of the
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




health care
NJNJ NJNJ




delivery team.‖ NJNJ




b. ―The multidisciplinary approach eliminates the need to clearly define
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



the NJNJ




responsibilities of nursing in such a setting.‖ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




c. ―Nursing actions are identified by the institution that distinguishes
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



nursing from other mental health professions.‖
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




d. ―Nursing offers unique contributions to the psychotherapeutic
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



managementNJNJ




of NJNJ




psychiatric patients.‖ NJNJ




ANS: N J N J D
Professional role overlap cannot be denied; however, nursing is unique in its focus
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




on and application of psychotherapeutic management. Neither the facility nor the
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




multidisciplinary team define the professional responsibilities of its members but
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




rather utilizes their unique skills to provide holistic care. Ideally, all team
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




members support each other and have functions within the team.

2. Which component of the nursing process will the nurse focus upon to address the
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



responsibility to match individual patient needs with
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




appropriate services? a.
NJNJ NJNJ



Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Implementation
ANS: N J N J C
Proper assessment is critical for being able to determine the appropriate level of
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




services that will provide optimal care while considering patient input and at the
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ

, NJNJ lowest cost. Planning and implementation utilizes the assessment data to identify
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



NJNJ and execute actions (treatment plan) that will provide appropriate care.
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ

3. An adult diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia frequently experiences auditory
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




hallucinations and walks about the unit, muttering. Which nursing action
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




demonstrates
NJNJ the nurse‘s understanding of effective psychotherapeutic
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



management of this client?
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




a. Discussing the disease process of schizophrenia with the client and their
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




domestic partner
NJNJ




b. Minimizing contact between this patient and other patients to assure a
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




stress-free milieu
NJNJ




c. Administering PRN medication when first observing the evidence that NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




the client
NJNJ NJNJ




may be hallucinating NJNJ NJNJ




d. Independently determining that behavior modification is appropriate to NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



decrease the client‘s paranoid thoughts
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




ANS: N J N J A
An understanding of psychopathology is the foundation on which the three
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




components of psychotherapeutic management rest; it facilitates therapeutic
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




communication and provides a basis for understanding psychopharmacology and
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



milieu
NJNJ




management. Minimizing contact between the patient and others and administering
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




PRN medication indiscriminately are nontherapeutic interventions. Using behavior
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




modification to decrease the frequency of hallucinations would need to be
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




incorporated into the plan of care by the care team.

4. An adult diagnosed with chronic depression is hospitalized after a suicide attempt.
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




Which intervention is critical in assuring long-term, effective client care as
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




described by psychotherapeutic management? a. Involvement in group therapies
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




b. Focus of close supervision by the unit staff
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




c. Maintaining effective communication with support system NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




d. Frequently scheduled one-on-one time with nursing NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




staff NJNJ




ANS: N J N J D
A critical element of psychotherapeutic management is the presence of a therapeutic
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




nurse-patient relationship. One-on-one time with nursing staff will help in
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




establishing
NJNJ




this connection. While the other options are appropriate and client centered, the
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




nurse-client relation is critical in the long-term delivery of quality effective care
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ



to this client.

5. A patient‘s haloperidol dosage was reduced 2 weeks ago to decrease side
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




effects. What assessment question demonstrates the nurse‘s understanding of the
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




resulting needs of the client?
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




a. ―Will you have any difficulty getting your prescription refilled?‖
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




b. ―Have you begun experiencing any forms of hallucinations?‖
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




c. ―What do you expect will occur since the dosage has been reduced?‖
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




d. ―What can I do to help you manage this reduction in haloperidol therapy?‖
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




ANS: N J N J B
It will be necessary for the nurse to assess for exacerbation of the patient‘s
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




symptoms of psychosis as well as for a lessening of side effects. Dosage
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




decrease might lead to the return or worsening of positive symptoms such as
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




hallucinations and delusions, and negative symptoms such as blunted affect, social
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




withdrawal, and poor grooming. While the other options may be appropriate
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




assessment questions, they are not directed at the current needs of the client
NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ NJNJ




which is the identification of emerging psychotic behaviors.
