1. According to the DSM-5, there is evidence that symptoms and causes of mental illness are
influenced by:

A. cultural and ethnic factors.

B. occupation and status.

C. birth order.

D. sexual preference.

Rationale

The DSM-5 states there is evidence to suggest that mental illness is influenced by cultural and
ethnic factors. The DSM-5 does not state that there is evidence that occupation, birth order, or
sexual preference affect mental illness.
Reference: pp. 10-12

2. One characteristic of mental health that allows people to adapt to tragedies, trauma, and loss is:

A. dependence.

B. resilience.

C. pessimism.

D. altruism.

Rationale

Resilience is a characteristic that helps individuals cope with loss and trauma that may occur
in life. Dependence is described as being dependent on others for decision making and care.
Pessimism is a life philosophy that things are more likely to go wrong than right. Altruism is
described as putting others before yourself.
Reference: p. 3

3. You are caring for Kiley, a 29-year-old female patient who is being admitted following a suicide
attempt. Which of the following illustrates the concept of patient advocacy?

, A. "Dr. Raye, I notice you ordered Prozac for Kiley. She has stated to me that she does not
want to take Prozac because she had adverse effects when it was previously
prescribed."

B. "Dr. Raye, during her admissions interview Kiley stated that she has had three other
suicide attempts in the past."

C. "Kiley, can you tell me more about your depression and your suicide attempt?"

D. "Kiley, I will take you on a tour of the unit and orient you to the rules."

Rationale

By letting the provider know that the patient does not want the treatment the provider is
prescribing, you have advocated for the patient and her right to make decisions regarding her
treatment. The other selections do not describe patient advocacy.
Reference: p. 16

4. You have graduated with your BSN degree and have taken your first job on a psychiatric unit after
becoming a licensed Registered Nurse. You are providing teaching to Mason, a newly admitted
patient on the psychiatric unit, regarding his daily schedule. Which of the following would not be
an appropriate teaching statement?

A. "You will participate in unit activities and groups daily."

B. "You will be given a schedule daily of the groups we would like you to attend."

C. "You will attend a psychotherapy group that I lead."

D. "You will see your provider daily in a one-to-one session."

Rationale

Basic level RNs cannot perform psychotherapy. The other options are all appropriate
expectations of a patient's schedule on a psychiatric unit.
Reference: pp. 14-15

5. A nurse who is active in local consumer mental health groups and in local and state mental health
associations and who keeps aware of state and national legislation affecting mental illness

A. becoming active in politics leading to a potential political career.
