While listening, the nurse should: a. sit close to the patient. b. place an arm protectively around the patient's shoulders. c. place a hand on the patient's arm and exert light pressure. d. maintain a normal social interaction distance from the patient. - ANS: D The patient is describing phenomena that indicate personal boundary difficulties. The nurse should maintain an appropriate social distance and not touch the patient, because the patient is anxious about the inability to maintain ego boundaries and merging with or being swallowed by the environment. Physical closeness or touch could precipitate panic. 4) Which statement indicates a patient with major depression is most likely outlook on life during the acute phase of the illness? - During an acute phase of major depression, the client may feel worthless and deserve bad things to happen personally. 5) A patient diagnosed with bipolar disorder is in the maintenance phase of treatment.

"You will be able to stop the medication in about 1 month." b. "Taking the medication every day helps reduce the risk of a relapse." c. "Usually patients take medication for approxi mately 6 months after discharge." d.

Today the person shouts, "They're all plotting to destroy me. Isn't that true?" Select the nurse's most therapeutic response. a."Everyone here is trying to help you. No one wants to harm you." b. "Feeling that people want to destroy you must be very frightening." c. "That is not true. People here are trying to help you if you will let them." d. "Staff members are health care professionals who are qualified to help you." - ANS: B Resist focusing on content; instead, focus on the feelings the patient is expressing.

The other options focus on content and provide opportunity for argument. 7) A pa tient is undergoing a series of diagnostic tests.
