Exam 3 (Three): NSG 526 Clinical Modalities in
Advanced Psychiatric Mental Health Questions
with Verified Answers – Wilkes University.


The role of the PMH-APRN in crisis provide a framework of support
systems that guide the client through the crisis and facilitate the
development and use of positive coping skills. Also must be aware that
the individual may be at high risk for suicide or homicide.


The concept of acting out is complex. The term has been used to
describe a variety of behaviors, ranging from antisocial, destructive acts
to unconscious impulses expressed in action rather than in symbolic
words or symptoms. Acting out may, and often does, include
destructive actions and seemingly undefinable behaviors. The term
describes a re-creation of the client's life experiences, relationships with
significant others, and resulting unresolved conflicts.


In a crisis the NP should PMH-APRN should assess for unusual
behaviors and determine the level of involvement of the person with
the crisis. In addition, assess for evidence of self-mutilation activities
that may indicate the use of self-preservation measures to avoid suicide


During an adventitious crisis (e.g., flood, hurricane, forest fire) that
affects the well-being of many people the NP the interventions of
the PMH-APRNwill be a part of the community's efforts to respond to
the event.

,when a personal crisis occurs the person in crisis may have only the
PMH-APRN to respond to his or her needs. After the assessment, the
PMH-APRN must decide whether to provide the care needed or to refer
the person to a psychiatrist.


A situational crisis occurs whenever a specific stressful event
threatens a person's biopsychosocial integrity and results in some
degree of psychological disequilibrium. The event can be an internal
one, such as a disease process or any number of external threats. A
move to another city, a job promotion, or graduation from high school
can initiate a crisis even though they are positive events.


If a person enters a new situation without adequate coping skills a
crisis may develop, resulting in dissonance (inconsistency between
attitude and behavior).

framework of support systems that guide the
