1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional feelings of sadness because oftherecent
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
m m m m m m m




1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness inthe form ofdepression.
m m m m m m m m m m




2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mentalillness.
m m m m m m m m m m m




3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
m m m m m m m m




4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mentalillness.
m m m m m m m m m m




ANSWER: 4 m




Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients dailyfunctioning is not impaired. The clientwho
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




Without significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate a mental illness.

2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




mentalillness?
m m




1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective oftheDSM-5 criteria.
m m m m m m m m m m m




2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference indailyfunctioning.
m m m m m m m m m m m




3. When a client communicates significant distress.
m m m m m




4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
m m m m m m m m




ANSWER: 2 m




Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness when responsesto
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.

3. A nurse is assessing a set of15-year-old identical twins who respond verydifferentlyto stress.One
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




these different stress responses to the parents?
m m m m m m m




1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stressvary.
m m m m m m m m m m m m




2. It isabnormal for identical twins to react differentlyto similar stressors.
m m m m m m m m m m m




3. Identical twins should share the sametemperament and respond similarlyto stress.
m m m m m m m m m m m




4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavilythan genetic influences. m m m m m m m m m

, ANSWER: 1 m




Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have identical DNA,there
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental health is a stateof being thatis relative to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




the individual client. Environmental influences and temperament can affect stress reactions.

2. A Baptist, homeless male.
m m m




3. ACatholic, black male.
m m m




4. A Protestant, Swedish businessexecutive.
m m m m




ANSWER: 1 m




Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the client of Jewish culture would place a high importance
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




on preventative health care and would consider mental health as equally important asphysical health.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




Women are also more likely to seek treatment for mental health problems than men.

5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, This clients use ofdefense mechanisms should be
m m m m m m m m m m m m




eliminated.Which is a correct evaluation of this nurses statement?
m m m m m m m m m m




1. Defense mechanisms can be appropriate responses to stress and need not be eliminated.
m m m m m m m m m m m m




2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manage anxiety
m m m m m m m m m m m




andshouldalways be eliminated.
m m m m




3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should be discouragedandnot
m m m m m m m m m m m m




eliminated.
m




4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration ofthe ego and should be fostered andencouraged.
m m m m m m m m m m m m




ANSWER: 1 m




Rationale: The nurse should determine that defense mechanisms can be appropriate during timesof
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




stress. The client with no defense mechanisms may have a lower tolerance for stress, thus leading to
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




anxiety disorders. Defense mechanisms should be confronted when they impede the client from
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




developing healthycoping skills.
