Chapter 1: Foundations of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, 10e
1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly admitted
client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having a positive impact on
the individual's mental health?
a) Not needing others for companionship
b) The ability to effectively manage stress
c) A family history of mental illness
d) Striving for total self-reliance
(ANSWER): B
(Explanation):
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or
stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of
separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a
healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness
could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact
on an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's
interpersonal and social cultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible,
and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.
2. Which of the following statements about mental illness are true? Select all that apply.
a) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.
b) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors.
c) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive dependency
on or withdrawal from relationships.
d) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively with
daily life.
e) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with
relationships and self.
