Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology: Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications 4th Edition
Multiple Choice
1. A Patient With Depression Mentions To The Nurse, My Mother Says Depression Is A Chemical
Disorder. What Does She Mean? The Nurses Response Is Based On The Theory That Depression Primarily
Involves Which Of The Following Neurotransmitters?
A. Cortisol And Gaba
B. Comt And Glutamate
C. Monamine And Glycine
D. Serotonin And Norepinephrine
ACCURATE ANS: D
One Possible Cause Of Depression Is Thought To Involve One Or More Neurotransmitters. Serotonin And
Norepinephrine Have Been Found To Be Important In The Regulation Of Depression. There Is No
Research To Support That The Other Options Play A Significant Role In The Development Of Depression.
2. A Patient Has Experienced A Stroke (Cerebral Vascular Accident) That Has Resulted In Damage
To The Broca Area. Which Evaluation Does The Nurse Conduct To Reinforce This Diagnosis?
,A. Observing The Patient Pick Up A Spoon
B. Asking The Patient To Recite The Alphabet
C. Monitoring The Patients Blood Pressure
D. Comparing The Patients Grip Strength In Both Hands
ACCURATE ANS: B
Accidents Or Strokes That Damage Brocas Area May Result In The Inability To Speak (I.E., Motor
Aphasia). Fine Motor Skills, Blood Pressure Control, And Muscle Strength Are Not Controlled By The
Broca Area Of The Left Frontal Lobe.
3. The Patient Diagnosed With Schizophrenia Asks Why Psychotropic Medications Are Always
Prescribed By The Doctor. The Nurses Answer Will Be Based On Information That The Therapeutic Action
Of Psychotropic Drugs Is The Result Of Their Effect On:
A. The Temporal Lobe; Especially Wernickes Area
B. Dendrites And Their Ability To Transmit Electrical Impulses
C. The Regulation Of Neurotransmitters Especially Dopamine
D. The Peripheral Nervous System Sensitivity To The Psychotropic Medications
ACCURATE ANS: C
Medications Used To Treat Psychiatric Disorders Operate In And Around The Synaptic Cleft And Have
Action At The Neurotransmitter Level, Especially In The Case Of Schizophrenia, On Dopamine. The
Wernickes Area, Dendrite Function, Or The Sensitivity Of The Peripheral Nervous System Are Not
Relevant To Either Schizophrenia Or Psychotropic Medications.
4. A Student Nurse Mutters That It Seems Entirely Unnecessary To Have To Struggle With
Understanding The Anatomy And Physiology Of The Neurologic System. The Mentor Would Base A
Response On The Understanding That It Is:
A. Necessary But Generally For Psychiatric Nurses Who Focus Primarily On Behavioral Interventions
B. A Complex Undertaking That Advance Practice Psychiatric Nurses Frequently Use In Their
Practice
C. Important Primarily For The Nursing Assessment Of Patients With Brain Traumacaused Cognitive
Symptoms
D. Necessary For Planning Psychiatric Care For All Patients Especially Those Experiencing Psychiatric
Disorders
ACCURATE ANS: D
, Nurses Must Understand That Many Symptoms Of Psychiatric Disorders Have A Neurologic Basis,
Although The Symptoms Are Manifested Behaviorally. This Understanding Facilitates Effective Care
Planning. The Foundation Of Knowledge Is Not Used Exclusively By Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses
Nor Is It Relevant For Only Behavior Therapies Or Brain Trauma Since Dealing With The Results Of
Normal And Abnormal Brain Function Is A Responsibility Of All Nurses Providing All Types Of Care To The
Psychiatric Patient.
5. A Patient Asks The Nurse, My Wife Has Breast Cancer. Could It Be Caused By Her Chronic
Depression? Which Response Is Supported By Research Data?
A. Too Much Stress Has Been Proven To Cause All Kinds Of Cancer.
B. There Have Been No Research Studies Done On Stress And Disease Yet.
C. Stress Does Cause The Release Of Factors That Suppress The Immune System.
D. There Appears To Be Little Connection Between Stress And Diseases Of The Body
ACCURATE ANS: C
Research Indicates That Stress Causes A Release Of Corticotropin-Releasing Factors That Suppress The
Immune System. Studies Indicate That Psychiatric Disorders Such As Mood Disorders Are Sometimes
Associated With Decreased Functioning Of The Immune System. Research Does Not Support A
Connection Between Many Cancers And Stress. There Is A Significant Amount Of Research About Stress
And The Body. Research Has Shown That There Are Some Connections Between Stress And Physical
Disease.
6. A Patient Who Has A Parietal Lobe Injury Is Being Evaluated For Psychiatric Rehabilitation Needs.
Of The Aspects Of Functioning Listed, Which Will The Nurse Identify As A Focus Of Nursing Intervention?
A. Expression Of Emotion
B. Detecting Auditory Stimuli
C. Receiving Visual Images
D. Processing Associations
ACCURATE ANS: D
The Parietal Lobe Is Responsible For Associating And Processing Sensory Information That Allows For
Functions Such As Following Directions On A Map, Reading A Clock, Dressing Self, Keeping
Appointments, And Distinguishing Right From Left. Emotional Expression Is Associated With Frontal Lobe
Function. Detecting Auditory Stimuli Is A Temporal Lobe Function. Receiving Visual Images Is Related To
Occipital Lobe Function.
7. At Admission, The Nurse Learns That Some Time Ago The Patient Had An Infarct In The Right
Cerebral Cortex. During Assessment, The Nurse Would Expect To Find That The Patient:
A. Demonstrates Major Deficiencies In Speech
