1, Introduction to Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing 1. Karen is a 25-
year-old white woman who lives alone in an apartment with her dog.
Karen has been divorced for 2 years and is taking Prozac prescribed by
her psychiatrist for depression. Karen and her boyfriend had been
discussing marriage until he told her that he wanted to end their
relationship. Karen became even more depressed and could not work for
a week. Karen returned to work, refusing to discuss her issues with
family, friends, or coworkers. She did, however, make an appointment
to see a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Karen told the nurse that she was
making some changes in her life. Karen said that she and a girlfriend
were joining a gym program for workouts and a social group for young
men and women. Karen stated that she realizes that her former boyfriend
had not been committed to her, and she anticipates meeting and dating
other young men from the adult social group. Karen also said that she
thinks that the gym exercise will be beneficial to her mentally and
physically. (Learning Objectives: 1, 4) Case Study, Mohr: CHAPTER 2,

to the city hospital to be admitted for psychiatric treatment. In the
admission interview with the psychiatric nurse, Michael said that his
pastor thought that only weak-willed people experienced depression and
that it was a punishment for personal sins and the sins of one’s
ancestors. Michael told the nurse that he must be weak-willed and will
never be able to accomplish anything. The psychiatric nurse explained
that multiple factors are the cause of depression. The nurse told Michael
that one theory holds that an imbalance of neurotransmitters, or
chemical messengers of the brain, occurs in depression.
Neurotransmitters influence the individual’s emotions, thoughts, and
subsequent behavior. Recent research implies that neurobiology,
heredity, as well as Psychological and environmental factors may be
involved in the development and progression of depression. (Learning

1. The student nurse has been assigned a 37-year-old woman admitted to
the psychiatric hospital with an anxiety disorder. This morning, the
student notices that the client has a tense facial expression and is
walking constantly around the group room. The student walked over to
the client and used reflective communication by stating, “I see that you
have a tense expression and are walking around almost all of the time. Is
there something that we could discuss?” The client replied that she has
talked on the telephone to her mother who was keeping her children
while she was in the hospital. The client said that her mother had told
her that she was not a good mother, and then said, “I guess I am a bad
mother, but I could never measure up to my mother’s expectations.” The
student has learned that negative self-talk can greatly aggravate anxiety
and lead to depression. The student decided to use a behavioral
intervention with the client and asked the client who is a good artist and
why the client liked the artist’s works. The student and the client then
