Chapter 1. Mental Health and Mental Illness jj jj jj jj jj jj




Multiple Choice jj




1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional feelings of sadness because of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


therecent death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have not
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


changed. How should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of depression.
jj jj jj jj jj jj j jj jj jj


2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental illness.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mental illness.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




ANS: 4 jj


Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is not impaired. The
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


clientwho experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


expectations. Without significant impairment, the clients distress does not indicate a mental
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


illness.

2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


mentalillness?
jj j


1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria.
j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in daily functioning.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


3. When a client communicates significant distress. j jj jj jj jj


4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




ANS: 2 jj


Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness when
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


responsesto stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


that in orderto be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly
jj jj jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


impaired. The clients ability to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.

3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very differently to
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


stress.One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How should
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


the nurse explain these different stress responses to the parents?
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stress vary.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.

3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences.

ANS: 1 jj


Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have identical
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


DNA,there are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental health is a state of
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


being thatis relative to the individual client. Environmental influences and temperament can
jj jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


affect stress reactions.

4. Which client should the nurse anticipate to be most receptive to psychiatric treatment?
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


1. A Jewish, female social worker.
jj jj jj jj


2. A Baptist, homeless male.
jj jj jj


3. A Catholic, black male.
jj jj jj


4. A Protestant, Swedish business executive.
jj jj jj jj




ANS: 1 jj


Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the client of Jewish culture would place a high
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


importance on preventative health care and would consider mental health as equally important
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


asphysical health. Women are also more likely to seek treatment for mental health problems
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


than men.

5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, This clients use of defense mechanisms should be
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


eliminated.Which is a correct evaluation of this nurses statement?
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


1. Defense mechanisms can be appropriate responses to stress and need not be eliminated.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj j


shouldalways be eliminated.
jj j jj jj


3. Defense mechanisms, used by individuals with weak ego integrity, should be discouraged
jj jj jj jj jj j jj jj jj jj jj


andnot eliminated.
jj j jj


4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of the ego and should be fostered and encouraged.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




ANS: 1 jj


Rationale: The nurse should determine that defense mechanisms can be appropriate during
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


timesof stress. The client with no defense mechanisms may have a lower tolerance for stress,
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


thus leading to anxiety disorders. Defense mechanisms should be confronted when they
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


impede the client from developing healthy coping skills.

6. During an intake assessment, a nurse asks both physiological and psychosocial questions.

jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


best response?
jj jj


1. Its just a routine part of our assessment. All clients are asked these same questions.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


2. Why are you concerned about these types of questions?
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


3. Psychological factors, like excessive stress, have been found to affect medical conditions. jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj j


4. We can skip these questions, if you like. It isnt imperative that we complete this section.

ANS: 3 jj


Rationale: The nurse should attempt to educate the client on the negative effects of
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj j jj jj jj


excessivestress on medical conditions. It is not appropriate to skip physiological and
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


psychosocial questions, as this would lead to an inaccurate assessment.

jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj

jj jj jj jj jj


2. The employee leaves the staff meeting to work out in the gym.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj j jj


3. The employee criticizes a coworker.
jj jj jj jj


4. The employee takes the boss out to lunch.
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj




ANS: 3 jj


Rationale: The nurse should expect that the client using the defense mechanism
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


displacementwould criticize a coworker after being confronted by the boss. Displacement
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


refers to transferring feelings from one target to a neutral or less-threatening target.

8. A fourth-grade boy teases and makes jokes about a cute girl in his class. This behavior
jj jj jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


shouldbe identified by a nurse as indicative of which defense mechanism?
jj j jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


1. Displacement
2. Projection
3. Reaction formation jj


4. Sublimation
ANS: 3 jj


Rationale: The nurse should identify that the boy is using reaction formation as a defense
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


mechanism. Reaction formation is the attempt to prevent undesirable thoughts from being
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


expressed by expressing opposite thoughts or behaviors. Displacement refers to transferring
jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj jj


feelings from one target to another. Rationalization refers to making excuses to justify
