, 6670 FINAL EXAM


QUESTION 1
1. Collette is a 23-year-old female who presented for emergency care with her mother
because her behavior has become increasingly erratic and caused her to lose her job. Her
mother reports that she had never done anything like this in the past, but about 3 months
ago, her boyfriend of 3 years broke up with her, and Collette began to express unrealistic
beliefs that her boyfriend wanted to drive her crazy and hurt her. A gentleman trying to hail
a taxi accidentally bumped into her this morning, and she started screaming that her ex-
boyfriend had hired the man to throw her into the street under a car. Collette is on a 2-week
suspension from her job as a restaurant server because she was combative to a customer—
she accused him of colluding with her ex-boyfriend to get her fired. After this morning’s
incident, her mother was so worried she brought her to the emergency room. Her
appearance is disheveled, she is clearly hyperalert and is crying that her boyfriend must
have converted her mother to work against her. Head imaging, screening lab, and a
toxicology screen are negative. A leading differential for Collette is:
Bipolar disorder
Acute psychotic episode
Schizophreniform disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder

QUESTION 2
1. Jake and Laurie are a young married couple who have been referred to mental health
counseling because Jake is having disturbing sleep events. Laurie reports that on more than
one occasion she has awakened to find Jake having what appears to be a panic attack, but
he doesn’t seem to realize it. When he finally wakes up, he is confused and doesn’t really
understand what happened, although he does have a sense of intense fear. This has
happened twice in the last 2 weeks, and the last time Laurie heard him screaming. Jake is
now a bit afraid to go to sleep and as a result does not feel well the next day. The PMHNP
recognizes that sleep terrors in adults:

Are often associated with trauma or
psychiatric problems

Represent a disorder of REM sleep

, May be a symptom of temporal lobe epilepsy

Is treated with a cycle of sleep deprivation

QUESTION 3
1. Jack is a 27-year-old male who has a history of paranoid schizophrenia that first
became apparent approximately 10 years ago. He developed paranoid delusions and
eventually decompensated to the point that he required inpatient stabilization. At the time,
he was started on conventional antipsychotics, but due to intolerable adverse effects he was
switched to haloperidol. It worked well, but whenever he stopped taking it, symptoms would
recur. After several hospitalizations, he was stabilized. The neurophysiologic theory of
schizophrenia suggests that Jack’s symptoms were a result of:
Increased dopamine activity in the
mesolimbic pathway

Increased dopamine activity in the
mesocortical pathway

Increased glutamate in the prefrontal cortex

Increased glutamate in the hippocampus

1. Johanne is a 22-year-old female who is being treated for narcolepsy. She is

following Johanne, the PMHNP should be alert to signs and symptoms of:
Suicidality

Depressio

Disinhibiti
on

QUESTION 5
1. The PMHNP is asked to prepare a presentation for non-nursing health care workers in
a local long-term care facility on the various causes of cognitive impairment in the elderly. A

needs to be reported to the patient’s attending provider right away. The case should
emphasize which of the following features as being closely correlated with delirium?
Perceptual
disturbances
