Patient Will:
a. Deny Suicidal Ideation.
b. Report A Sense Of Well-Being.
c. Take Medications As Prescribed.
d. Attend Clinic Appointments On Time.

Ans: B
Recovery Emphasizes Managing Symptoms, Reducing Psychosocial Disability, And Improving Role
Performance. The Goal Of Recovery Is To Empower The Individual With Mental Illness To Achieve A
Sense Of Meaning And Satisfaction In Life And To Function At The Highest Possible Level Of Wellness. The
Incorrect Options Focus On The Classic Medical Model Rather Than Recovery.

2. In The Shift-Change Report, An Off-Going Nurse Criticizes A Patient Who Wears Heavy Makeup. Which
Comment By The Nurse Who Receives The Report Best Demonstrates Advocacy?
a. This Is A Psychiatric Hospital. Craziness Is What We Are All About.
b. Lets All Show Acceptance Of This Patient By Wearing Lots Of Makeup Too.
c. Your Comments Are Inconsiderate And Inappropriate. Keep The Report Objective.
d. Our Patients Need Our Help To Learn Behaviors That Will Help Them Get Along In Society.

Ans: D
Accepting Patients Needs For Self-Expression And Seeking To Teach Skills That Will Contribute To Their
Well-Being Demonstrate Respect And Are Important Parts Of Advocacy. The On-Coming Nurse Needs To
Take Action To Ensure That Others Are Not Prejudiced Against The Patient. Humor Can Be Appropriate
Within The Privacy Of A Shift Report But Not At The Expense Of Respect For Patients. Judging The Off-
Going Nurse In A Critical Way Will Create Conflict. Nurses Must Show Compassion For Each Other.

Attending Is A Technique That Demonstrates The Nurses Commitment To The Relationship And Reduces
Feelings Of Isolation. This Technique Shows Respect For The Patient And Demonstrates Caring.
Generalizations, Probing, And False Reassurances Are Non-Therapeutic.
