MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A staff nurse completes orientation to a psychiatric unit. This nurse may
expect an advanced practice nurse to perform which additional intervention?
a. Conduct mental health
assessments.
b. Prescribe psychotropic
medication.
c. Establish therapeutic
relationships.
d. Individualize nursing care plans.
ANS: B
In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master’s-prepared nurse
practitioners and clinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing
medication. The nurse prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health
assessments, establish relationships, and provide individualized care planning.

2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses “lose all
their clinical nursing skills.” Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
a. “Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to-
patient ratios must be better because of the nature of the patients’ problems.”
b “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinking to
. solve
multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.”
c. “That’s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology
monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.”
d “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as medical–
. surgical
nurses do. That appeals to me.”
ANS: B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical–
surgical nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to
help patients with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic
perspective these nurses must have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric
settings have increased, just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical
practice, not just documentation. Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as
physical pain and suffering.

3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons
diagnosed with mental illness, a group of nurses write letters to their elected
,representatives in opposition to the legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
,a. Recovery
b. Attending
c. Advocacy
d. Evidence-based
practice
ANS: C
An advocate defends or asserts another’s cause, particularly when the other person
lacks the ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping
patients understand their rights or make decisions. On a community scale, advocacy
includes political activity, public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the
human condition. Since funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons
with mental illness, the letter-writing campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of
patients who are unable to articulate their own needs.

4. A family has a long history of conflicted relationships among the members. Which
family member’s comment best reflects a mentally healthy perspective?
a. “I’ve made mistakes but everyone else in this family has also.”
b “I remember joy and mutual respect from our early years together.”
.
c. “I will make some changes in my behavior for the good of the family.”
d “It’s best for me to move away from my family. Things will never
. change.”
ANS: C
The correct response demonstrates the best evidence of a healthy recognition of the
importance of relationships. Mental health includes rational thinking, communication
skills, learning, emotional growth, resilience, and self-esteem. Recalling joy from earlier
in life may be healthy,but the correct response shows a higher level of mental health.
The other incorrect responses show blaming and avoidance.

d. perceives difficulty making a decision about whether to change
jobs.

7. A nurse encounters an unfamiliar psychiatric disorder on a new patient’s
admission form. Which resource should the nurse consult to determine criteria used to
establish this diagnosis?
a. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health
Problems (ICD-10)
b. The ANA’s Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Scope and Standards of
Practice
c. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V)
d. A behavioral health reference manual

9. Which individual is demonstrating the highest level of resilience? One who
a. is able to repress stressors.
b. becomes depressed after the death of a spouse.
c. lives in a shelter for 2 years after the home is destroyed by fire.
d. takes a temporary job to maintain financial stability after loss of a
permanent job.
ANS: D
Resilience is closely associated with the process of adapting and helps people facing
tragedies, loss, trauma, and severe stress. It is the ability and capacity for people to
secure the resources they need to support their well-being. Repression and depression
are unhealthy. Living in a shelter for 2 years shows a failure to move forward after a
tragedy. See related audience response question.

behavior. Mental health does not mean that a person is always happy.

c. Running amok

recognized by people in those cultures. A syndrome recognized in parts of Southeast
Asia is running amok, in which a person (usually a male) runs around engaging in
furious, almost indiscriminate violent behavior.

13. The DSM-V classifies:
a. deviant behaviors.
b. present disability or

c. people with mental
disorders.
d. mental disorders people
have.
ANS: D
The DSM-V classifies disorders people have rather than people themselves. The
terminology of the tool reflects this distinction by referring to individuals with a disorder
rather than as a “schizophrenic” or “alcoholic,” for example. Deviant behavior is not
generally considered a mental disorder. Present disability or distress is only one aspect
of the diagnosis.

The 12-month prevalence for Alzheimer’s disease is 10% for persons older than 65%

15. In the majority culture of the United States, which individual has the greatest
risk to belabeled mentally ill? One who
a. describes hearing God’s voice speaking.
b. is usually pessimistic but strives to meet personal goals.
c. is wealthy and gives away $20 bills to needy individuals.
d. always has an optimistic viewpoint about life and having own
needs met.
ANS: A
The question asks about risk. Hearing voices is generally associated with mental
illness, but in charismatic religious groups, hearing the voice of God or a prophet is a
desirable event. Cultural norms vary, which makes it more difficult to make an accurate
diagnosis. The individuals described in the other options are less likely to be labeled
mentally ill.

b. Communication
skills
