1. The nursing attendant is assessing a newly admitted hospital client with cholecystitis. When
performing the admission assessment, which statement by the hospital client is an indicatorof
optimal mental health?
A. “I don’t need anyone in my life, I manage well on my own.”
B. “I practice yoga regularly since it helps manage any stress I am feeling.”
C. “My family has several people with mental health problems.”
D. “I had a history of alcohol use disorder and have been sober for 2 months.”
Accurate choice:->>B
REASONING :->> Individual factors influencing mental health include coping or stress
management abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and
connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a healthy person would
need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness could relate to the biologic
makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. A
recent history of the useof maladaptive coping mechanisms such as alcohol does not indicate
that the hospital client is mentally healthy.

may be contributing to the hospital client’s degree of mental illness? Select all that apply.

REASONING:->>Social or cultural categories relate to a lack of resources, poverty,
negative view of the world, and discrimination and may result in isolation and violent or
criminal behavior. The hospital client that attributes life’s problems to being
without family support is not able to find meaning in life. Being without support isinterpersonal
determinant of mental illness.

experienced.”
C. “Were you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband’sdeath?”
D. “Try not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.”

Accurate choice:->>B
REASONING:->>Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mentalillness.
Downplaying the hospital client’s grief does not appropriately address the hospital client’s
concerns. The quality of the relationship does not determine the presence of absence of mental
illness.
