1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly
admitted client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having a positive
impact onthe individual's mental health?
A) Not needing others for companionship
B) The ability to effectively manage stress
C) A family history of mental illness
D) Striving for total self-
relianceCorrect Answer: B
Explanation:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy,
independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in
life, emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and
coping or stress management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a
balance of separateness and connectedness are both needed for good mental health,
and therefore ahealthy person would need others for companionship. A family history
of mental illnesscould relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have
a negative impacton an individual's mental health, as well as a negative impact on an
individual's interpersonal and social and cultural factors of health. Total self-reliance
is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.

A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.
B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors.
C) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive
dependencyon or withdrawal from relationships.
D) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively
withdaily life.
E) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction
withrelationships and self.
Correct Answer: A, D, E
Explanation:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental
illness may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive
dependency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate
to mental illness. Individuals suffering from mental illness can feel overwhelmed with
daily life. Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with
relationships and self.
3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always
unacceptablein other cultures.
B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective
behaviorand coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally
ill.Correct Answer: C
, Explanation:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society
maysee that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are
difficult to define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional,
psychological, and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships,
effective behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons
who engagein fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish
reality from fantasyis an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.
4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally
illbecause she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
A) You may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so
muchpain.
B) You are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you
haveexperienced.
C) Were you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your
husband'sdeath?
D) Try not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future
brings. Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not
be culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not
considered mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately
address the client'sconcerns.
5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
A) To devise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
D) To serve as a guide for client
assessmentCorrect Answer: D
Explanation:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and
identifies underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or
prognostic outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the
generalist RN's scope of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record
wouldbe inappropriate.
6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
A) Identifying the medical diagnosis
B) Treat clients
C) Evaluate treatments
D) Understand the reason for the admission and the nature of psychiatric
illnesses.Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a
helpful resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building
knowledge about the nature of psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical
diagnosis,treating, and evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.
7. The legislation enacted in 1963 was largely responsible for which of the following
