Chapter 1 ii
1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
being of a newly admitted client. Which of the following
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
would the nurse identify as having a positive impact onthe
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
individual's mental health?
ii ii ii
A) Not needing others for companionship ii ii ii ii
B) The ability to effectively manage stress ii ii ii ii ii
C) A family history of mental illness ii ii ii ii ii
D) Strivingfortotal self-reliance i i i
Ans: B
ii i i
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include ii ii ii ii ii
biologic makeup, autonomy, independence, self-esteem,
ii ii ii ii ii
capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of belonging,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
reality orientation, and coping or stress management
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
balance of separateness and connectedness are both needed
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
for good mental health, and therefore ahealthy person would need others for
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
companionship. A family history of mental illnesscould relate to the biologic makeup of
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
an individual, which may have a negative impacton an individual's mental health, as well
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
as a negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
adequate resources.
ii ii
2. Which of the following statements about mental illness are true? Select all that apply.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
A) Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
B) Mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors. ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
C) Social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive dependency ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
on or withdrawal from relationships.
ii ii ii ii ii
D) Individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively with ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii i
daily life. ii ii
E) Individuals suffering from mental illness mayexperience dissatisfaction with ii ii ii ii ii i ii ii
relationships and self. ii ii ii
Ans: A, D, E ii ii ii
Feedback:
Mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both. Mental
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
illness may be related to individual, interpersonal, or social/cultural factors. Excessive
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
dependency on or withdrawal from relationships are interpersonal factors that relate to
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
mental illness. Individuals suffering from mental illness can feel overwhelmed with
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
daily life. Individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
relationships and self.
ii ii ii
,3. Which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
A) Behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always unacceptable in ii ii i ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
other cultures. ii ii
B) It is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
C) In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
wellness evidenced bysatisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior
ii ii ii i ii ii ii ii
and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
D) Persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill. ii ii ii ii ii ii i
Ans: C
ii i i
Feedback:
What one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may see
ii ii ii i ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. Mental health and mental illness are difficult to
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
define precisely. In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. Persons who engage in
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
4. A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
because she is so sad. The nurse's best response would be,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
A) ìYou mayhave a temporary mental illness because you are experiencing so much
ii i ii ii i ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
pain.î ii
B) ìYou are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
experienced.î ii
C) ìWere you generallydissatisfied with your relationship before your husband's ii ii i ii ii i ii ii i
death?î ii
D) ìTrynot to worry about that right now. You never know what the future brings.î
i ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Ans: B
ii i i
Feedback:
Mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. Additionally the behavior must not be
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
culturally expected. Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
mental illness. False reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
concerns.
ii
,5. The nurse consults the DSM for which of the following purposes?
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii i i
A) To devise a plan of care for a newly admitted client
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
B) To predict the client's prognosis of treatment outcomes
i ii ii ii ii ii ii
C) To document the appropriate diagnostic code in the client's medical record
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
D) To serve as a guide for client assessment
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii i i
Ans: D ii
Feedback:
The DSM provides standard nomenclature, presents defining characteristics, and
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
identifies underlying causes of mental disorders. It does not provide care plans or
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
prognostic outcomes of treatment. Diagnosis of mental illness is not within the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
generalist RN's scope of practice, so documenting the code in the medical record would be
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
inappropriate.
ii
6. Which would be a reason for a student nurse to use the DSM?
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii i i
A) Identifying the medical diagnosis ii ii ii
B) Treat clients i
C) Evaluate treatments ii
D) Understand the reason for the admission and the nature of psychiatric illnesses.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii i i
Ans: D ii
Feedback:
Although student nurses do not use the DSM to diagnose clients, they will find it a helpful
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
resource to understand the reason for the admission and to begin building knowledge
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
about the nature of psychiatric illnesses. Identifying the medical diagnosis, treating, and
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
evaluating treatments are not a part of the nursing process.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
7. The legislation enacted in 1963 was largely responsible for which of the following shifts in
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
care for the mentally ill?
ii ii ii ii ii
A) The widespread use of community-based services ii ii ii ii ii
B) Theadvancement in pharmacotherapies i i ii
C) Increased access to hospitalization i ii i
D) Improved rights for clients in long-term institutional care ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Ans: A
ii i i
Feedback:
The Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 accomplished the
ii i ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
release of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions, the decrease in
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
admissions to hospitals, and the development of community-based services as an
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
alternative to hospital care.
ii ii ii ii
, 8. Which one of the following is a result of federal legislation?
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
A) Making it easier to commit people for mental health treatment against their will. ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
B) Making it more difficult to commit people for mental health treatment against ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
their will.
ii ii
C) State mental institutions being the primary source of care for mentally ill persons.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
D) Improved care for mentally ill persons. ii ii ii i ii
Ans: B
ii i i
Feedback:
Commitment laws changed in the early 1970s, making it more difficult to commit ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
people for mental health treatment against their will. Deinstitutionalization
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
accomplished the release of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Deinstitutionalization also had negative effects in that some mentally ill persons are
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
subjected to the revolving door effect, which may limit care for mentally ill persons.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
9. The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
A) ensure patients' rights for the mentally ill. ii ii ii ii ii ii
B) deinstitutionalize statehospitals. i i
C) provide funds to build hospitals with psychiatric units. ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
D) treat people with mental illness in a humane fashion.
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Ans: B
ii i i
Feedback:
The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act intimated the movement toward
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
treating those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
resulted in the shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
based in the community. Answer choices A, C, and D were not purposes of the 1963
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Community Mental Health Centers Act.
ii ii ii ii ii
10. The creation of asylums during the 1800s was meant to
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
A) improve treatment of mental disorders. ii ii ii ii
B) provide food and shelter for the mentally ill. ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
C) punish people with mental illness who were believed to be possessed. ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
D) remove dangerous people with mental illness from the community. i ii ii i ii ii ii i
Ans: B
ii i i
Feedback:
The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders or to punish
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not created to
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.
