1. Considering the many criteria for good mental health, the nursing student has
been instructed to list four of these criteria. The student's list consists of the

the desire for privacy. How would the nurse evaluate the nursing student's list?
1. Excellent. All the student's criteria are correct.
2. Good. Three of the four criteria are correct.
3. Mediocre. Two of the four criteria are correct.
4. Poor. All four of the criteria are incorrect. Ans✓✓✓ 1. Excellent. All the
student's criteria are correct. There are numerous descriptors depicting the
concept of good mental health. The student's list is not comprehensive, but all
four criteria listed are correct reflections of good mental health. A mentally

,healthy individual views reality with a realistic perception based on objective
data. Accepting oneself, including strengths and weaknesses, is indicative of good
mental health. The ability to establish relationships by use of communication skills
is essential for good mental health. Mentally healthy individuals seek time to be
alone and appreciate periods of privacy

2. "What do you mean by sick child?"
3. "Life is not fair to do this to a child."
4. "It's hard to believe that your child is so sick." Ans✓✓✓ 4. This is a declarative
statement that paraphrases the mother's beliefs and feelings. It communicates to

expand on her thoughts if she feels ready.
.

award at his baseball tournament. According to Erikson, which describes this
client's developmental task assessment?
1. Autonomy.
2. Identity.
3. Industry.
4. Initiative.
. Ans✓✓✓ 3. Industry is the positive outcome of Erikson's "school age" stage of
development, industry versus inferiority. This stage ranges from 6 to 12 years of
age. The major developmental task for school age is to achieve a sense of self-
confidence by learning

4. A 70 year-old woman angry about how her life ended up Ans✓✓✓ 4. A 70
year-old would be in Erikson's developmental stage of "old age" (65 years old to
death). The developmental task conflict of this stage is ego integrity versus
despair. The major developmental task in old age is for an individual to review
