MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which outcome, focused on recovery, would be expected in the plan of
care for a patient living in the community 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. 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 some means of coping
other than suicide when you have these
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 with your life.‖
d. ―How did you get so depressed that
hospitalization was necessary?‖
ANS: A
The nurse‘s communication should evidence caring and a commitment to work with the
patient. This commitment lets the patient know the nurse will help. Probing and advice
are not helpful or therapeutic interventions.

3. 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. ―Let‘s 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.

4. A nurse assesses a newly admitted patient with depression. Which
statement is an example of ―attending‖?
a. ―We all have stress in life. Being in a
psychiatric hospital isn‘t 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 medication started for
you.‖
d. ―I‘d 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 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 about a health

, problem. Which characteristic of the web site‘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.‖
ANS: 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. ―.gov‖ indicates that the site
is maintained by a government entity. ―.org‖ indicates that the site is nonproprietary; the
site may or may not have reliable information, but it does not profit from its activities.
―.net‖ can have multiple meanings.

6. A nurse says, ―When I was in school I learned to call upset patients by
name to get their attention, but I read a descriptive research study that says that this
approach doesn‘t work. I‘m going stop calling patients by name.‖ Which statement is the
best appraisal of this nurse‘s comment?
a. One descriptive research study rarely
provides enough evidence to change
practice.
b. Staff nurses apply new research findings
only with the help from clinical nurse
specialists.
c. New research findings should be
incorporated into clinical algorithms
before using them in practice.
d. The nurse misinterpreted the results of the
study. Classic tenets of practice do not
change.
ANS: A
Descriptive research findings provide evidence for practice but must be viewed in
relation to other studies before practice changes. One study is not enough. Descriptive
studies are low on the hierarchy of evidence. Clinical algorithms use flow charts to
manage problems and do not specify one response to a clinical problem. Classic tenets of
practice should change as research findings provide evidence for change.
