of therecent death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine
have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of depression.
2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental illness.
3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mental
illness.

ANS: 4
Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is not impaired.
The client who experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within
normal expectations. Without significant impairment, the clients distress does not
indicate a mental illness.

mental illness?

responses to stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5

a positive attribute.

3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very differently
to stress.One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries.
How should the nurse explain these different stress responses to the parents?
1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stress
vary.
2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.
4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences.

ANS: 1
Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have
identical DNA,there are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental
health is a state of being thatis relative to the individual client. Environmental
influences and temperament can affect stress reactions.

1. A Jewish, female social worker.
2. A Baptist, homeless male.
3. A Catholic, black male.
4. A Protestant, Swedish business executive.

ANS: 1
Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the client of Jewish culture would place a

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

and shouldalways be eliminated.
3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should be
discouraged and not eliminated.
4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of the ego and should be fostered and
encouraged.
