Chapter 01: Science and the Therapeutic Use of Self in Psychiatric Mental
Health 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
peabrisrbis.ctoenm/ttemst ental illness? Within 3 months, the patient will
demonstrate what behavior?
a. Denying suicidal ideation
b. Reporting a sense of well-being
c. Taking medications as prescribed
d. Attending clinic appointments on time
ANSWER_ 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 medabicirba.lcommo/tedset l 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 healthy means of coping when you have suicidal 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?
ANSWER_ A
The nurse‘s communication should evidence caring and a acboirmb.cmomit/tmeset
nt to work with the patient. This commitment lets the patient know the nurse will
help. Probing and advice are not helpful for therapeutic interventions.

3. In the shift-change report, an off-going nurse criticizes a
paabtiireb.ncotmw/tehsot wears extremely heavy makeup. Which comment by the
nurse who receives the report best demonstrates advocacy?
a. ―This is a psychiatric hospital, so we expect our patients to behave
bizarrely.‖
b. ―Let‘s all show acceptance of this patient by wearing
laobtisrbo.cfomm/teaskt eup 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.‖
ANSWER_ D
, 3|Pag e
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
preajubidrbi.cceodm /taegstainst 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 diagnosed with major depressive
disorder. Which
statement is an example of ―attending‖?
a. ―We all have stress in life. Being in a psychiatric hospital is not 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
ambirebd.ciocam/ttieostn started for you.‖
d. ―I‘d like to sit with you for a while, so you may feel more comfortable
talking with
me.‖
ANSWER_ 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.
