2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a
mental illness?
When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria.
When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in daily
functioning.
When a client communicates significant distress.
When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.

the nurse explain these different stress responsesto the parents?
1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stressvary.
2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly tostress.
4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences.
CORRECT ANSWER: 1
FEEDBACK: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have
identical DNA, there are several other factors that affect reactions to stress.

5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, this client’s use of defense mechanisms shouldbe eliminated
.Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
1. Defense mechanisms can be appropriate responses to stress and need not beeliminated.
2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manageanxiety and
should always be eliminated.
3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should bediscouraged
and not eliminated.
