Psychiatric Mental Health
Nursing (3rd Edition 2021)
Chapter 01: Practicing the Science and the Art of Psychiatric Nursing MULTIPLE CHOICE


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

living in the community and diagnosed with serious and persistent mental illness? Within 3

months, the patient will: a. deny suicidal ideation.


b. report a sense of well-being.


c. take medications as prescribed.


d. attend clinic appointments on time.

ANS: B

Recovery emphasizes managing symptoms, reducing psychosocial disability, and improving role

performance.


The goal of recovery is to empower the individual with mental illness to 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 medical model rather than recovery.

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

,makeup. Which comment by the nurse who receives the report best demonstrates

advocacy?

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


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

ANS: D

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 prejudiced against 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.

nurse assesses a newly admitted patient diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Which

statement is an example of attending?

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 medication started for you.


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

ANS: D

Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurses 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 non-therapeutic.
