1. Which outcome, focused on recovery, would be expected in the plan of care for a
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx patient living in the community and diagnosed with serious and persistent mental
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




illness? Within 3 months, the patient will: a. deny suicidal ideation.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




b. report a sense of well-being.zx zx zx zx




c. take medications as prescribed.
zx zx zx




d. attend clinic appointments on time.

ANS: B zx




Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




improving role performance.
zx zx zx




The goal of recovery is to empower the individual with mental illness to achieve a
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx sense of meaning and satisfaction in life and to function at the highest possible level of
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx wellness. The incorrect options focus on the classic medical model rather than
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx recovery.

2. In the shift-change report, an off-going nurse criticizes a patient who wears
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




heavy makeup. Which comment by the nurse who receives the report best
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx demonstrates advocacy? zx

,a. This is a psychiatric hospital. Craziness is what we are all about.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




b. Lets all show acceptance of this patient by wearing lots of makeup too.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




c. Your comments are inconsiderate and inappropriate. Keep the report objective.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




d. Our patients need our help to learn behaviors that will help them get along in society.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




ANS: D zx




Accepting patients needs for self-expression and seeking to teach skills that will
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




contribute to their well-being demonstrate respect and are important parts of
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx advocacy. The on- zx zx

,coming nurse needs to take action to ensure that others are not prejudiced against the
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx patient. Humor can be appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx expense of respect for patients. Judging the off-going nurse in a critical way will create
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx conflict.


Nurses must show compassion for each other.

zx 3. A nurse assesses a newly admitted patient diagnosed with major depressive
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




disorder. Which statement is an example of attending?
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




a. We all have stress in life. Being in a psychiatric hospital isnt the end of the world.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




b. Tell me why you felt you had to be hospitalized to receive treatment for your depression.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




c. You will feel better after we get some antidepressant medication started for you.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




d. Id like to sit with you a while so you may feel more comfortable talking with me.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




ANS: D zx




Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurses commitment to the relationship
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




and reduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the patient and
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




zx demonstrates caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassurances are non-
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx




therapeutic.
