1. Which understanding is the basis for the nursing actions focused on minimizing
o o o o o o o o o o o
mental health promotion of families with chronically mentally ill members?
o o o o o o o o o o
a. Family members are at an increased risk for mental illness. o o o o o o o o o
b. The mental health care system is not prepared to deal with family crises.
o o o o o o o o o o o o
c. Family members are seldom prepared to cope with a chronically ill individual.
o o o o o o o o o o o
d. The chronically mentally ill receive care best when delivered in a formal setting.
o o o o o o o o o o o o
ANS: A o
When families live with a dominant member who has a persistent and severe mental
o o o o o o o o o o o o o
disorder the outcomes are often expressed as family members who are at increased risk
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
for physical and mental illnesses. The remaining options are not necessarily true.

2. Which nursing activity shows the nurse actively engaged in the primary prevention of
o o o o o o o o o o o o
mental disorders?
o o
a. Providing a patient, whose depression is well managed, with medication on time o o o o o o o o o o o
b. Making regular follow-up visits to a new mother at risk for post-partum depression
o o o o o o o o o o o o
c. Providing the family of a patient, diagnosed with depression, information on suicide
o o o o o o o o o o o
preventiono
d. Assisting a patient who has obsessive compulsive tendencies prepare and practice
o o o o o o o o o o
for a job interview
o o o o
ANS: B o
Primary prevention helps to reduce the occurrence of mental disorders by staying
o o o o o o o o o o o
involved with a patient. Providing medication and information on existing illnesses are
o o o o o o o o o o o o
examples of secondary prevention which helps to reduce the prevalence of mental
o o o o o o o o o o o o
disorders. Assisting a mentally ill patient with preparation for a job interview is tertiary
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
prevention since it involves rehabilitation.

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