MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A Patient With Depression Mentions To The Nurse, My Mother Says Depression
Is A C Hemical Disorder. What Does She Mean? The Nurses Response Is Based On
The Theoryth At Depression Primarily Involves Which Of The Following
Neurotransmitters?
a. Cortisol And GABA
b. COMT And Glutamate
c. Monamine And Glycine
d. Serotonin And
Norepinephrine ACCULATE ANS:D
One Possible Cause Of Depression Is Thought To Involve One Or More Neurotransmitters.
Serotonin And Norepinephrine Have Been Found To Be Important In The Regulation
Of Dep Ression. There Is No Research To Support That The Other Options Play A
Significant Role In T He Development Of Depression.
2. A Patient Has Experienced A Stroke (Cerebral Vascular Accident) That Has
Resulted In Damage To The Broca Area. Which Evaluation Does The Nurse Conduct
To Reinforce This d Iagnosis?
sr
a. Observing The Patient Pick Up A Spoon
b. Asking The Patient To Recite The Alphabet
c. Monitoring The Patients Blood Pressure
d. Comparing The Patients Grip Strength In Both
Hands ACCULATE ANS:B
Accidents Or Strokes That Damage Brocas Area May Result In The Inability To Speak (I.E., Sr
Motor Aphasia). Fine Motor Skills, Blood Pressure Control, And Muscle Strength Are
Notc Ontrolled By The Broca Area Of The Left Frontal Lobe.
3. The Patient Diagnosed With Schizophrenia Asks Why Psychotropic Medications
Are A Lways Prescribed By The Doctor. The Nurses Answer Will Be Based On
Information That th E Therapeutic Action Of Psychotropic Drugs Is The Result Of
sr
Their Effect On:
a. The Temporal Lobe; Especially Wernickes Area
b. Dendrites And Their Ability To Transmit Electrical Impulses
c. The Regulation Of Neurotransmitters Especially Dopamine
d. The Peripheral Nervous System Sensitivity To The Psychotropic Medications

sr
By Herc Hronic Depression? Which response Is Supported By Research Data?
sr
a. Too Much Stress has Been Proven To Cause All Kinds Of Cancer.

Research Indicates That Stress Causes A Release Of Corticotropin-
Releasing Factors That Suppress The Immune System. Studies Indicate That
Psychiatric Dis Orders Such As Mooddisorders Are Sometimes Associated With
Decreased Functioning Of T He Immune System.Research Does Not Support A
Connection Between Many Cancers And Stress. There Is A Significant Amount Of
Research About Stress And The Body. Research Ha S Shown That There Are Some
Connections Between Stress And Physical Disease.

6. A Patient Who Has A Parietal Lobe Injury Is Being Evaluated For Psychiatric
Rehabilitat Ion Needs. Of The Aspects Of Functioning Listed, Which Will The Nurse
Identifyas A Focus Of Nursing Intervention?
a. Expression Of Emotion
b. Detecting Auditory Stimuli
c. Receiving Visual Images
d. Processing
Associations ACCULATE
ANS:D
The Parietal Lobe Is Responsible For Associating And Processing Sensory Information Tha
T Allows For Functions Such As Following Directions On A Map, Reading A Clock,
Dressing Self, Keeping Appointments, And Distinguishing Right From Left. Emotional
Expression Is Associated With Frontal Lobe Function. Detecting Auditory Stimuli is sr
A temporal Lobe Fun Ction. Receiving Visual Images Is Related To Occipital Lobe

Function.
7. At Admission, The Nurse Learns That Some Time Ago The Patient had An sr
Infarct In Ther Ight Cerebral Cortex. During Assessment, The Nurse Would Expect
