s t ental illness?
Within 3 months, the patient will demonstrate what behavior?

achieve a sense of meaning and satisfaction in life and to function at the highest possible level
of wellness. The incorrect options focus on the classic me da bici r ba. lc omm o/ t edset l rather than

2. A patient is hospitalized for depression and suicidal ideation after their spouse asks for a
divorce. Select the nurse’s most caring comment.
a. “Let’s discuss healthy means of coping when you have suicidal feelings.”
b. “I understand why you’re so depressed. When I got divorced, I was devastated
too.”
c. “You should forget about your marriage and move on awbiirtbh.coymo/uterst life.”
d. “How did you get so depressed that hospitalization was necessary?”
- ANSWER: A
The nurse’s communication should evidence caring and a acboi r m
b.c om /t es t
m it m e nt to work with the
patient. This commitment lets the patient know the nurse will help. Probing and advice are not
helpful for therapeutic interventions.
3. In the shift-change report, an off-going nurse criticizes a paabti ir be. nc ot mw/ t ehsot wears extremely
heavy makeup. Which comment by the nurse who receives the report best demonstrates
advocacy?
a. “This is a psychiatric hospital, so we expect our patients to behave bizarrely.”
b. “Let’s all show acceptance of this patient by wearing laobt i sr b .oc fo mm/ t easkt eup too.”
c. “Your comments are inconsiderate and inappropriate. Keep the report objective.”
d. “Our patients need our help to learn behaviors that will help them get along in
society.”

,3|P a ge
Accepting patients’ needs for self-expression and seeking to teach skills that will contribute to
their well-being demonstrate respect and are important parts of advocacy. The on-coming
nurse needs to take action to ensure that others are not pr ejaub idrbi.cceo md/ taegsta in st the patient.
Humor can be appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the expense of respect
for patients. Judging the off-going nurse in a critical way will create conflict. Nurses must
show compassion for each other.
4. A nurse assesses a newly admitted patient diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Which
statement is an example of “attending”?
a. “We all have stress in life. Being in a psychiatric hospital is not the end of the
world.”
b. “Tell me why you felt you had to be hospitalized to receive treatment for your
depression.”
c. “You will feel better after we get some antidepressant amb i rebd. ciocma/tt ieostn started for you.”
d. “I’d like to sit with you for a while, so you may feel more comfortable talking with
me.”

ER: D
Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurse’s commitment to the relationship and
reduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the patient and demonstrates
caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassurances are nontherapeutic.
5. A patient shows the nurse an article from the Internet abo uatb iar b .hc oema /lttehs t problem. Which
characteristic of the website’s address most alerts the nurse that the site may have biased and
prejudiced information?
a. Address ends in “.org.”
b. Address ends in “.com.”
c. Address ends in “.gov.”
d. Address ends in “.net.”
- ANSWER: B
Financial influences on a site are a clue that the information may be biased. “.com” at the end
of the address indicates that the site is a commercial one. “a.gboirvb”.cio
ndmic/taetsest that the site is
maintained by a government entity. “.org” indicates that th e s i te is n onproprietary; the site
may or may not have reliable information, but it does not profit from its activities. “.net” can
have multiple meanings.
