NURS 6640 Midterm Exam
 Question 1



The PMHNP is working with a patient who witnessed her father pass away after suffering

for several months from terminal cancer. The PMHNP sees this as a traumatic event. The

patient reports sometimes feeling out of touch with surroundings; almost as if things feel

like a dream. “Sometimes that sensation lingers for a while,” the patient says, “and other

times I snap out of it quickly.” What does the PMHNP infer about the condition based on

psychotherapy concepts for trauma?
B.

Answer: The patient is reporting signs of

dissociation.
 Question 2



A new patient has been informed of the limits of confidentiality, and has signed informed

consent forms. No consent, however, has been obtained for voluntary “Release of

Information.” The patient is 20 years old and still lives at home with his parents. He is

being treated for depression, which he attributes to the trouble he’s had finding

employment.

True or false: If the patient’s mother calls the PMHNP to check up on her son to see how he

is doing, the therapist is required to protect patient confidentiality and not disclose

information.
Tru

, Answer: e
 Question 3



The PMHNP is having a therapy session with Charlotte, a 20-year-old victim of date rape.

The patient states, “I shouldn’t have been there; I should have just gone home. This was all

my fault; how could I have been so stupid?” Using the Socratic method, what is the

PMHNP’s best response?
A.

Answer: “If this had happened to someone else with the exact same circumstances,

would you say this was her fault?”



 Question 4



The patient is a 56-year-old female patient diagnosed with panic disorder and reports

symptoms that include heart palpitations, frequent trembling, and feelings of choking in

stressful situations. What special consideration does the PMHNP make?
D.

Answer: A and

B
 Question 5



The PMHNP is working with a patient who experiences anxiety around her parents that

later leads to poor impulse control. What will the PMHNP do to employ psychodynamic

psychotherapy properly for this patient?
