Chapter 1. Mental Health and Mental Illness


1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional feelings of sadness
because of therecent death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns,
and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the clients
behaviors?
1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of depression.
2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental
illness.
3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.
4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no
mental illness.
ANSWER_ 4
Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is not
impaired. The clientwho experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is
responding within normal expectations. Without significant impairment, the clients
distress does not indicate a mental illness.
Cognitive Level: Analysis Integrated Process:
Assessment

mentalillness?

criteria.

2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in daily
functioning.
3. When a client communicates significant distress.
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.
ANSWER_ 2
Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness
when responsesto stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The
DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily


functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability to communicate
distress would be considered a positive attribute.

Application Integrated Process: Assessment




3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very
differently to stress.One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other
withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress responses
to the parents?
1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to
stress vary.
2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to
stress.
4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic
influences.


ANSWER_ 1

, 3|Pag e


Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have
identical DNA,there are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental
health is a state of being thatis relative to the individual client. Environmental
influences and temperament can affect stress reactions.
Cognitive Level: Application Integrated Process:
Implementation




4. Which client should the nurse anticipate to be most receptive to psychiatric
treatment?
1. A Jewish, female social worker.
2. A Baptist, homeless male.
3. A Catholic, black male.
4. A Protestant, Swedish business executive.
ANSWER_ 1
Rationale: The nurse should anticipate that the client of Jewish culture would place
a high importance on preventative health care and would consider mental health as
equally important asphysical health. Women are also more likely to seek treatment
for mental health problems than men.
Cognitive Level:
ApplicationIntegrated Process: Planning




5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, This clients use of defense mechanisms
should be eliminated.Which is a correct evaluation of this nurses statement?
1. Defense mechanisms can be appropriate responses to stress and need not be
eliminated.
2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive attempt of the ego to manage anxiety
and shouldalways be eliminated.
