1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly admitted
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having a positive impact on
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
the individual's mental health?
n n n n
A) Not needing others for companionship n n n n
B) The ability to effectively manage stress n n n n n
C) A family history of mental illness n n n n n
D) Striving for total self-reliance n n n
Ans: B n n
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy, n n n n n n n n
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
n n n n n n n n n n n n
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or
n n n n n n n n n n n n
stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of
n n n n n n n n n n n n
separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
, lOMoARcPSD| 11700591
healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness
n n n n n n n n n n n n
could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an individual's
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and
n n n n n n n n n n n n
a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.
n n n n n n n n n
2. Which of the following statements about mental illness are true? Select all that apply.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. n n n n n n n n n
B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors. n n n n n n n
C) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive dependency on n n n n n n n n n n
or withdrawal fromrelationships.
n n n n
D) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively with n n n n n n n n n n n
daily life. n n
E) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with n n n n n n n n
relationshipsand self. n n n
Ans: A, D, E n n n
Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental illness
n n n n n n n n n n n
may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive
n n n n n n n n n n
dependency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate to
n n n n n n n n n n n n
mental illness. Individuals suffering from mental illness can feel overwhelmed with daily
n n n n n n n n n n n n
life. Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with
n n n n n n n n n n
relationshipsandself.
n n n
3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
n n n n n n n n n n n
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always n n n n n n n n n n n
unacceptable in other cultures.
n n n n
B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
n n n n n n n n n n n n
wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior
n n n n n n n n
and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
n n n n n n n
D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill. n n n n n n n
Ans: C
n n
Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society
n n n n n n n n n n n
may see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
difficult to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
psychological, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships,
n n n n n n n n n
effective behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons
n n n n n n n n n n
who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish reality
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.
n n n n n n n n n n n n
4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
n n n n n n n n n n n
A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so much
n n n n n n n n n n n n
pain.î n
B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
experienced.î n
C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband'sn n n n n n n n n
death?î n
D) ìTry not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.î
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Ans: B
n n
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
n n n n n n n n
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
, lOMoARcPSD| 11700591
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered
n n n n n n n n n n
mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's
n n n n n n n n n n n n
concerns.
n
5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
n n n n n n n n n n
A) To devise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
n n n n n n n n n n
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
n n n n n n n
C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
n n n n n n n n n n
D) To serve as a guide for client assessment
n n n n n n n
Ans: D
n n
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and
n n n n n n n n
identifies underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
prognostic outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalist
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
RN's scope of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record would be
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
inappropriate.
n
6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
n n n n n n n n n n n n
A) Identifying the medical diagnosis n n n
B) Treat clients n
C) Evaluatetreatments
D) Understand the reason for the admission and the nature of psychiatric illnesses. n n n n n n n n n n n
Ans: D
n n
Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a helpful
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building knowledge
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
about the nature of psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis, treating, and
n n n n n n n n n n n n
evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.
n n n n n n n n n n
7. The legislation enacted in 1963 was largely responsible for which of the following shifts in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
care for the mentally ill?
n n n n n
A) The widespread use of community-based services
n n n n n
B) The advancement in pharmacotherapies n n n
C) Increased access to hospitalization n n n
D) Improved rights for clients in long-term institutional care n n n n n n n
Ans: A
n n
Feedback:
The Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 accomplished the release
n n n n n n n n n n n
of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions, the decrease in admissions to
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
hospitals, and the development of community-based services as an alternative to hospital
n n n n n n n n n n n n
care.
n
8. Which one of the following is a result of federal legislation?
n n n n n n n n n n
A) Making it easier to commit people for mental health treatment against their will.
n n n n n n n n n n n n
B) Making it more difficult to commit people for mental health treatment against
n n n n n n n n n n n
their will. n n
C) State mental institutions being the primary source of care for mentally ill persons.
n n n n n n n n n n n n
D) Improved care for mentally ill persons. n n n n n
Ans: B
n n
Feedback:
, lOMoARcPSD| 11700591
Commitment laws changed in the early 1970s, making it more difficult to commit
n n n n n n n n n n n n
people for mental health treatment against their will. Deinstitutionalization accomplished
n n n n n n n n n
the release of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions. Deinstitutionalization
n n n n n n n n n n n
also had negative effects in that some mentally ill persons are subjected to the revolving
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
door effect, which may limit care for mentally ill persons.
n n n n n n n n n n
9. The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to
n n n n n n n n n n n
A) ensure patients' rights for the mentally ill. n n n n n n
B) deinstitutionalize state hospitals. n n
C) provide funds to build hospitals with psychiatric units. n n n n n n n
D) treat people with mental illness in a humane fashion.n n n n n n n n
Ans: B
n n
Feedback:
The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act intimated the movement toward treating
n n n n n n n n n n n
those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation resulted in the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care based in the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
community. Answer choices A, C, and D were not purposes of the 1963 Community
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
Mental Health Centers Act.
n n n n
10. The creation of asylums during the 1800s was meant to
n n n n n n n n n
A) improve treatment of mental disorders. n n n n
B) provide food and shelter for the mentally ill. n n n n n n n
C) punish people with mental illness who were believed to be possessed. n n n n n n n n n n
D) remove dangerous people with mental illness from the community. n n n n n n n n
Ans: B
n n
Feedback:
The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders or to punish
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not created to
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.
n n n n n n n n
11. The major problems with large state institutions are: Select all that apply.
n n n n n n n n n n n
A) attendants were accused of abusing the residents. n n n n n n
B) stigma associated with residence in an insane asylum. n n n n n n n
C) clients were geographically isolated from family and community. n n n n n n n
D) increasing financial costs to individual residents. n n n n n
Ans: A, C
n n n
Feedback:
Clients were often far removed from the local community, family, and friends because
n n n n n n n n n n n n
state institutions were usually in rural or remote settings. Choices B and D were not major
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
problems associated with large state instructions.
n n n n n n
12. A significant change in the treatment of people with mental illness occurred in the 1950s
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
when
n
A) community support services were established. n n n n
B) legislation dramatically changed civil commitment procedures. n n n n n
C) the Patient's Bill of Rights was enacted.n n n n n n
D) psychotropic drugs became available for use. n n n n n
Ans: D
n n
Feedback:
The development of psychotropic drugs, or drugs used to treat mental illness, began in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
the 1950s. Answer choices A, B, and C did not occur in the 1950s.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
