Chapter 1
1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly admitted
client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having a positive impact on the
individual's mental health?
A) Not needing others for companionship
B) The ability to effectively manage stress
C) A family history of mental illness
D) Striving for total self-reliance ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy, independence,
self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life, emotional resilience or
hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and 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, as well as a
negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. Total self-
reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.




2. Which of the following statements about mental illness are true? Select all that apply.
A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.
B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors.
C) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive dependency on or
withdrawal from relationships.
D) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively with daily
life.

E) Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with
relationships and self.
ANSWER: A, D, E
Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental illness may
be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive dependency on or
withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate to mental illness. Individuals
suffering from mental illness can feel overwhelmed with daily life. Individuals suffering from
mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with relationships and self.




3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always unacceptable in other
cultures.
B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-
concept, and emotional stability.
D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill. ANSWER: C
Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may see that
as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are difficult to define
precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-
concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but
the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute to
mental illness.

4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
A) ìYou may have a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so much pain.î
B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have experienced.î
C) ìWere you generally dissatisfied with your relationship before your husband's
death?î
D) ìTry not to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.î
ANSWER: B
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships, ineffective
coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be culturally expected.
Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mental illness. False reassurance
or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's concerns.




5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
A) To devise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
D) To serve as a guide for client assessment ANSWER: D
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and identifies
underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or prognostic outcomes of
treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the generalist RN's scope of practice, so
documenting the code in the medical record would be inappropriate.
