MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which outcome, focused on recovery, would be expected in the plan of care for a patient
living in the community and diagnosed with serious and paebrisrbis.ctoemn/ttem
st ental illness? Within 3
months, the patient will demonstrate what behavior?
a. Denying suicidal ideation

abirb.com/test
c. Taking medications as prescribed
d. Attending clinic appointments on time
ANS: B abirb.com/test
Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and improving
role performance. The goal of recovery is to empower the individual with mental illness to
achieve a sense of meaning and satisfaction in life and to function at the highest possible level
of wellness. The incorrect options focus on the classic medabicirba.lcom
mo/tedse
t l rather than recovery.

divorce. Select the nurse’s most caring comment. abirb.com/test
a. “Let’s discuss healthy means of coping when you have suicidal feelings.”
b. “I understand why you’re so depressed. When I got divorced, I was devastated
too.”
c. “You should forget about your marriage and move on awbiirtbh.coymo/u

3. In the shift-change report, an off-going nurse criticizes a paabtiirbe.ncotmw/tehsot wears extremely heavy
makeup. Which comment by the nurse who receives the report best demonstrates advocacy?
a. “This is a psychiatric hospital, so we expect our patients to behave bizarrely.”
b. “Let’s all show acceptance of this patient by wearing lots of makeup too.”
abirb.com/test
c. “Your comments are inconsiderate and inappropriate. Keep the report objective.”
d. “Our patients need our help to learn behaviors that will help them get along in
society.”
abirb.com/test
ANS: D
, Accepting patients’ needs for self-expression and seeking to teach skills that will contribute to
their well-being demonstrate respect and are important parts of advocacy. The on-coming
nurse needs to take action to ensure that others are not prejaubidrbi.ccoemd/taegstainst the patient. Humor
can be appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the expense of respect for
patients. Judging the off-going nurse in a critical way will create conflict. Nurses must show
compassion for each other.

4. A nurse assesses a newly admitted patient diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Which
statement is an example of “attending”?
a. “We all have stress in life. Being in a psychiatric hospital is not the end of the
world.” abirb.com/test
b. “Tell me why you felt you had to be hospitalized to receive treatment for your
depression.”
c. “You will feel better after we get some antidepressant ambirebd
.ciocm
a/ttieostn started for you.”
d. “I’d like to sit with you for a while, so you may feel more comfortable talking with
me.”
ANS: D abirb.com/test
Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurse’s commitment to the relationship and
reduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the patient and demonstrates
caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassurances are nontherapeutic.

5. A patient shows the nurse an article from the Internet abouatbiarb.hcoemal/ttehst problem. Which
characteristic of the website’s address most alerts the nurse that the site may have biased and
prejudiced information?
a. Address ends in “.org.” abirb.com/test
b. Address ends in “.com.”
c. Address ends in “.gov.”
d. Address ends in “.net.”
abirb.com/test
ANS: B
Financial influences on a site are a clue that the information may be biased. “.com” at the end
of the address indicates that the site is a commercial one. “.gov” indicates that the site is
abirb.com/test
maintained by a government entity. “.org” indicates that the site is nonproprietary; the site
may or may not have reliable information, but it does not profit from its activities. “.net” can
have multiple meanings.

6. A nurse says, “When I was in school, I learned to call upseatbirpba.ctoim
en/tetsst by name to get their
attention; however, I read a descriptive research study that says that this approach does not
work. I plan to stop calling patients by name.” Which statement is the best appraisal of this
nurse’s comment? abirb.com/test
a. One descriptive research study rarely provides enough evidence to change practice.
, b. Staff nurses apply new research findings only with the help from clinical nurse
specialists.
c. New research findings should be incorporated into clinaibcirabl.caom
lg/toesrtithms before using
them in practice.
d. The nurse misinterpreted the results of the study. Classic tenets of practice do not
change.
abirb.com/test
ANS: A
Descriptive research findings provide evidence for practice but must be viewed in relation to
other studies before practice changes. One study is not enough. Descriptive studies are low on
abirb.com/test
the hierarchy of evidence. Clinical algorithms use flowcharts to manage problems and do not
specify one response to a clinical problem. Classic tenets of practice should change as
research findings provide evidence for change.

usdt ent wants to enter
psychiatric nursing. The other student asks, “Why would you want to be a psychiatric nurse?
All they do is talk. You will lose your skills.” Select the best response by the student
interested in psychiatric nursing. abirb.com/test
a. “Psychiatric nurses’ practice in safer environments than other specialties and
nurse-to-patient ratios are better because of the nature of patients’ problems.”
b. “Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills, as well as critical thinking,
to solve multidimensional problems. I’m challenged byabtirhb.cosom/
e steisttuations.”
c. “I think I will be good in the mental health field. I do not like clinical rotations in
school, so I do not want to continue them after I graduate.”
d. “Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much paabiirnb.caonmd/tessutffering as
medical-surgical nurses. That appeals to me.”
ANS: B
The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different setaobfirbs.ckoimll/stestht an medical-surgical
nursing, although substantial overlap does exist. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help
patients with medical and mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these
nurses must have. Nurse–patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased,
similar to other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves claibniribc.acolmp/treasct tice, not simply
documentation. Psychosocial pain is real and can cause as much suffering as physical pain.
8. Which research evidence would most influence a group of nurses to change their practice?
a. Expert committee report of recommendations for practaibcireb.com/test
b. Systematic review of randomized controlled trials
c. Nonexperimental descriptive study
d. Critical pathway
