1. The registered nurse is assessing a newly admitted patient with cholecystitis.
When performing the admission assessment, which statement by the patient is an
indicator of optimal mental health?
A. “I don’t need anyone in my life, I manage well on my own.”
B. “I practice yoga regularly since it helps manage any stress I am feeling.”
C. “My family has several people with mental health problems.”
D. “I had a history of alcohol use disorder and have been sober for 2 months.”


Answer: B


Rationale: Individual factors influencing mental health include 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 a healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history
of mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which may
have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. A recent history of the use
of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as alcohol does not indicate that the
patient is mentally healthy.

2. The registered nurse is performing an admission assessment for a patient
admitted to the behavioral health unit. Which social/cultural category will the
registered nurse document that

, may be contributing to the patient’s degree of mental illness? Select all that apply.
A. The patient is unable to find work and does not have enough money for housing.
B. The patient states that they are discriminated against due to their country
of origin.
C. The patient attributes life’s problems to being without family support.
D. The patient reports being unable to find anything meaningful within their life.
E. The patient reports not belonging anywhere and is without family support.


Answer: A, B


Rationale: Social or cultural categories relate to a lack of resources, poverty,
negative view of the world, and discrimination and may result in isolation and
violent or criminal behavior. The patient that attributes life’s problems to being
without family support is not able to find meaning in life. Being without support is
interpersonal determinant of mental illness.

I feel so sad” Which is the registered nurse’s best response?
A. “You may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so
much pain.”
B. “You are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
experienced.”
C. “Were you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband’s
death?”
D. “Try not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.”
