NEUROSCIENTIFIC BASIS AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 5TH EDITION
r r r r r r r
1. A patient with depression mentions to the nurse, My mother says depression is a
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
chemical disorder. What does she mean? The nurses response is based on the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
theorythat depression primarily involves which of the following
r r r r r r r r
neurotransmitters?
a. Cortisol and GABA r r
b. COMT and glutamate r r
c. Monamine and glycine r r
d. Serotonin and norepinephrine r r
ANS: D r
One possible cause of depression is thought to involve one or more
r r r r r r r r r r r
neurotransmitters.Serotonin and norepinephrine have been found to be important
r r r r r r r r r
in the regulation of depression. There is no research to support that the other
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
options play a significant role in the development of depression.
r r r r r r r r r r
2. A patient has experienced a stroke (cerebral vascular accident) that has
r r r r r r r r r r
resulted in damage to the Broca area. Which evaluation does the nurse conduct to
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
reinforce thisdiagnosis?
r r
a. Observing the patient pick up a spoon r r r r r r
b. Asking the patient to recite the alphabet r r r r r r
c. Monitoring the patients blood pressure r r r r
d. Comparing the patients grip strength in both hands r r r r r r r
ANS: B r
Accidents or strokes that damage Brocas area may result in the inability to speak
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
(i.e., motor aphasia). Fine motor skills, blood pressure control, and muscle strength
r r r r r r r r r r r r
are notcontrolled by the Broca area of the left frontal lobe.
r r r r r r r r r r r
3. The patient diagnosed with schizophrenia asks why psychotropic medications
r r r r r r r r
are always prescribed by the doctor. The nurses answer will be based on
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
information thatthe therapeutic action of psychotropic drugs is the result of their
r r r r r r r r r r r r
effect on:
r r
a. The temporal lobe; especially Wernickes area r r r r r
b. Dendrites and their ability to transmit electrical impulses r r r r r r r
c. The regulation of neurotransmitters especially dopamine
r r r r r
d. The peripheral nervous system sensitivity to the psychotropic medications
r r r r r r r r
, ANS: C r
Medications used to treat psychiatric disorders operate in and around the synaptic
r r r r r r r r r r r
cleftand have action at the neurotransmitter level, especially in the case of
r r r r r r r r r r r r
schizophrenia, on dopamine. The Wernickes area, dendrite function, or the
r r r r r r r r r r
sensitivity of the peripheral nervous system are not relevant to either schizophrenia
r r r r r r r r r r r r
or psychotropic medications.
r r r
4. A student nurse mutters that it seems entirely unnecessary to have to struggle
r r r r r r r r r r r r
withunderstanding the anatomy and physiology of the neurologic system. The
r r r r r r r r r r
mentor would base a response on the understanding that it is:
r r r r r r r r r r r
Necessary but generally for psychiatric nurses who focus primarily r r r r r r r r
a. onbehavioral interventions
r r
A complex undertaking that advance practice psychiatric nurses frequently
r r r r r r r r
b. usein their practice r r r
Important primarily for the nursing assessment of patients with r r r r r r r r
c. braintraumacaused cognitive symptoms
r r r
Necessary for planning psychiatric care for all patients especially r r r r r r r r
d. thoseexperiencing psychiatric disorders
r r r
ANS: D r
Nurses must understand that many symptoms of psychiatric disorders have a
r r r r r r r r r r
neurologic basis, although the symptoms are manifested behaviorally. This
r r r r r r r r r
understanding facilitates effective care planning. The foundation of knowledge is
r r r r r r r r r r
notused exclusively by advanced practice psychiatric nurses nor is it relevant for
r r r r r r r r r r r r
only behavior therapies or brain trauma since dealing with the results of normal
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
and abnormal brain function is a responsibility of all nurses providing all types of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
care tothe psychiatric patient.

5. A patient asks the nurse, My wife has breast cancer. Could it be caused by
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
herchronic depression? Which response is supported by research data?
r r r r r r r r r
a. Too much stress has been proven to cause all kinds of cancer.
r r r r r r r r r r r
b. There have been no research studies done on stress and disease yet.
r r r r r r r r r r r
c. Stress does cause the release of factors that suppress the immune system.
r r r r r r r r r r r
d. There appears to be little connection between stress and diseases of the body
r r r r r r r r r r r r
ANS: C r
Research indicates that stress causes a release of corticotropin-releasing factors
r r r r r r r r r
that suppress the immune system. Studies indicate that psychiatric disorders such
r r r r r r r r r r r
as mooddisorders are sometimes associated with decreased functioning of the
r r r r r r r r r r
immune system.Research does not support a connection between many cancers
r r r r r r r r r r
and stress. There is a significant amount of research about stress and the body.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
Research has shown that there are some connections between stress and physical disease.
