MULTIPLE CHOICE k
1. A patient with depression mentions to the nurse, My mother says depression is a
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kchemical disorder. What does she mean? The nurses response is based on the theory
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
that depression primarily involves which of the following neurotransmitters?
k k k k k k k k k
a. Cortisol and GABA k k
b. COMT and glutamate k k
c. Monamine and glycine k k
d. Serotonin and norepinephrine k k
ANS: D
k k
One possible cause of depression is thought to involve one or more neurotransmitters.
k k k k k k k k k k k k
Serotonin and norepinephrine have been found to be important in the regulation of
k k k k k k k k k k k k
depression. There is no research to support that the other options play a significant
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
role in the development of depression.
k k k k k k
2. A patient has experienced a stroke (cerebral vascular accident) that has resulted in
k k k k k k k k k k k k
damage to the Broca area. Which evaluation does the nurse conduct to reinforce this
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
diagnosis?
k
a. Observing the patient pick up a spoon k k k k k k
b. Asking the patient to recite the alphabet
k k k k k k
c. Monitoring the patients blood pressure k k k k
d. Comparing the patients grip strength in both hands k k k k k k k
ANS: B
k k
Accidents or strokes that damage Brocas area may result in the inability to speak (i.e.,
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
motor aphasia). Fine motor skills, blood pressure control, and muscle strength are not
k k k k k k k k k k k k
controlled by the Broca area of the left frontal lobe.
k k k k k k k k k k
3. The patient diagnosed with schizophrenia asks why psychotropic medications are
k k k k k k k k k
kalways prescribed by the doctor. The nurses answer will be based on information that
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
the therapeutic action of psychotropic drugs is the result of their effect on:
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
a. The temporal lobe; especially Wernickes area k k k k k
b. Dendrites and their ability to transmit electrical impulses
k k k k k k k
c. The regulation of neurotransmitters especially dopamine

ANS: C k
Medications used to treat psychiatric disorders operate in and around the synaptic cleft
k k k k k k k k k k k k
and have action at the neurotransmitter level, especially in the case of schizophrenia,
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
on dopamine. The Wernickes area, dendrite function, or the sensitivity of the
k k k k k k k k k k k k
peripheral nervous system are not relevant to either schizophrenia or psychotropic
k k k k k k k k k k k
medications.

4. A student nurse mutters that it seems entirely unnecessary to have to struggle with
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
understanding the anatomy and physiology of the neurologic system. The mentor
k k k k k k k k k k k
would base a response on the understanding that it is:
k k k k k k k k k k
Necessary but generally for psychiatric nurses who focus primarily on k k k k k k k k k
a. behavioral interventions k
A complex undertaking that advance practice psychiatric nurses frequently usein
k k k k k k k k k k
b. their practice
k k
Important primarily for the nursing assessment of patients with brain
k k k k k k k k k
c. traumacaused cognitive symptoms
k k k
Necessary for planning psychiatric care for all patients especially those
k k k k k k k k k
d. experiencing psychiatric disorders
k k k
ANS: D k
Nurses must understand that many symptoms of psychiatric disorders have a
k k k k k k k k k k
kneurologic basis, although the symptoms are manifested behaviorally. This
k k k k k k k k
kunderstanding facilitates effective care planning. The foundation of knowledge is not
k k k k k k k k k k
used exclusively by advanced practice psychiatric nurses nor is it relevant for only
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
kbehavior therapies or brain trauma since dealing with the results of normal and
k k k k k k k k k k k k
kabnormal brain function is a responsibility of all nurses providing all types of care to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
the psychiatric patient.

5. A patient asks the nurse, My wife has breast cancer. Could it be caused by her
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
chronic depression? Which response is supported by research data?
k k k k k k k k k
a. Too much stress has been proven to cause all kinds of cancer.
k k k k k k k k k k k
b. There have been no research studies done on stress and disease yet.
k k k k k k k k k k k
c. Stress does cause the release of factors that suppress the immune system.
k k k k k k k k k k k
d. There appears to be little connection between stress and diseases of the body
k k k k k k k k k k k k
ANS: C
k k
Research indicates that stress causes a release of corticotropin-releasing factors that
k k k k k k k k k k
suppress the immune system. Studies indicate that psychiatric disorders such as mood
k k k k k k k k k k k
disorders are sometimes associated with decreased functioning of the immune system.
k k k k k k k k k k k
Research does not support a connection between many cancers and stress. There is a
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
significant amount of research about stress and the body. Research has shown that
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
there are some connections between stress and physical disease.
