Graded Answers
A moderately depressed client who was hospitalized 2 days ago suddenly begins smiling and reporting
that the crisis is over. The client says to the nurse, "I'm finally cured." How should the nurse interpret
this behavior as a cue to modify the treatment plan?

1.
Suggesting a reduction of medication

2.
Allowing increased "in-room" activities

3.
Increasing the level of suicide precautions

4.
Allowing the client off-unit privileges as needed
3

(pt who is moderately depressed and has only been in the hospital 2 days is unlikely to have such a
dramatic cure. When a depression suddenly lifts, it is likely that the client may have made the decision
to harm himself or herself. Suicide precautions are necessary to keep the client safe)

,4.
"What do you think that you can do to alleviate some of your fears about being raped again?"

(trash response irl though)

"Have you talked to your family about this?"

, A client is admitted with a recent history of severe anxiety following a home invasion and robbery.
During the initial assessment interview, which statement by the client should indicate to the nurse the
possible diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder? Select all that apply.

1.
"I'm afraid of spiders."

2.
"I keep reliving the robbery."

3.
"I see his face everywhere I go."

4.
"I don't want anything to eat now."

5.
"I might have died over a few dollars in my pocket."

6.
"I have to wash my hands over and over again many times."
235

(Reliving an event, experiencing emotional numbness (facing possible death), and having flashbacks of
the event (seeing the same face everywhere) are all common occurrences with posttraumatic stress
disorder. The statement "I'm afraid of spiders" relates more to having a phobia. The statement "I have
to wash my hands over and over again many times" describes ritual compulsive behaviors to decrease
anxiety for someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Stating "I don't want anything to eat now" is
vague and could relate to numerous conditions)


The nurse assesses a client with the admitting diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder, mania. Which
client symptoms require the nurse's immediate action?

1.
Incessant talking and sexual innuendoes

2.
Grandiose delusions and poor concentration

3.
Outlandish behaviors and inappropriate dress

4.
Nonstop physical activity and poor nutritional intake
4

(Mania is a mood characterized by excitement, euphoria, hyperactivity, excessive energy, decreased
need for sleep, and impaired ability to concentrate or complete a single train of thought. The client's
mood is predominantly elevated, expansive, or irritable. All of the options reflect a client's possible
symptoms. However, the correct option clearly presents a problem that compromises physiological
integrity and needs to be addressed immediately)
