ofmental disorders?
A. Providing a patient, whose depression is well managed, with medication on tim
B. Making regular follow-up visits to a new mother at risk for post-partum
depression

D Assisting a patient who has obsessive compulsive tendencies prepare and
. practice for a job interview
Ans: b
Primary prevention helps to reduce the occurrence of mental disorders by staying
involved with a patient. Providing medication and information on existing illnesses are
examples of secondary prevention which helps to reduce the prevalence of mental
disorders. Assisting a mentally ill patient with preparation for a job interview is tertiary
prevention since it involves rehabilitation.
Dif: cognitive level: application ref: page 4

regarding his diagnosis of severe depression?
A. Being placed on suicide precautions
B. Encouraging visits by his family members
C. Receiving a combination of medications to address his emotional needs
D Being asked to decide where he will attend his prescribed therapy sessions
.
Ans: d
A primary factor in patient treatment includes consideration of the patient‘s intentions
regarding his or her own care. Patients are central to the process that determines their
care as their abilities allow. Under the guidance of pmh nurses and other mental health
personnel, patients are encouraged to make decisions and to actively engage in their
own treatment plans to meet their needs. The remaining options are focused on
specificsof the determined plan of care.

, 4. When a patient‘s family asks why their chronically mentally ill adult child is being
discharged to a community-based living facility, the nurse responds:
A. ―it is a way to meet the need for social support.‖
B. ―it is too expensive to keep stabilized patients in acute care settings.‖
C. ―this type of facility will provide the specialized care that is needed.‖
D ―being out in the community will help provide hope and purpose for living.‖
.
Ans: d
Hospitalization may be necessary for acute care, but, when patients are stabilized, they
move into community-based, patient-centered settings or are discharged home with
continued outpatient treatment in the community. Concentrated efforts are made to
reduce the patient‘s sick role by providing opportunities for the development of a
purposeful life and instilling hope for each patient‘s future. Although social support is
important, such a living arrangement is not the only way to achieve it. Although acute
care is expensive, it is not the major concern when determining long-term care options.
Community-based facilities are not the only option for specialized care.

5. what is the best explanation to offer when the mother of a chronically ill teenage
patient asks, ―under what circumstances would he be considered incompetent?‖
a. ―When you can provide the court with enough evidence to show that he is not
able to care for himself safely.‖
b. ―It is not likely that someone his age would be determined to be incompetent
regardless of his mental condition.‖
c. ―He would have to engage in behavior that would result in harm to himself or to
someone else; like you or his siblings.‖
d. ―If the illness becomes so severe that his judgment is impaired to the point whe Re
the decisions he makes are harmful to himself or to others.‖
Ans: d
When a person is unable to cognitively process information or to make decisions about
his or her own welfare, the person may be determined to be mentally incompetent.
Providing self-care is not the only criteria considered. Age is not a factor considered. The
decision is often based on the potential for such behavior.
Dif: cognitive level: application ref: page 6

a. A chronically abused woman is assessed for anxiety.
b. A manic patient is taken to the gym to use the exercise equipment.
c. The older adult diagnosed with depression is monitored for suicidal ideations.
d. A teenager who refuses to obey the unit‘s rules is not allow to play video game s.
Ans: a
The majority of health disciplines now recognize that mental disorders and physical
Illnesses are closely linked. The presence of a mental disorder increases the risk for the
development of physical illnesses and vice versa. Assessing a chronically abused
individual for anxiety call should attention to the psychiatric disorder that could develop
from the abuse. The remaining options show interventions that are appropriate for the
mental disorder.
