1. A patient with depression mentions to the nurse, My mother says depression is a chem
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ical disorder. What does she mean? The nurses response is based on the theorythat depre

t t t t t t t
a. Cortisol and GABA t t
b. COMT and glutamate t t
c. Monamine and glycine t t
d. Serotonin and norepinephrine t t
ANS: D t
One possible cause of depression is thought to involve one or more neurotransmitters.Sero

tonin and norepinephrine have been found to be important in the regulation of depression.

There is no research to support that the other options play a significant role in the developm

ANS: D t
Nurses must understand that many symptoms of psychiatric disorders have a neurologic
t t t t t t t t t t t t
basis, although the symptoms are manifested behaviorally. This understanding facilitate
t t t t t t t t t
s effective care planning. The foundation of knowledge is notused exclusively by advanc
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ed practice psychiatric nurses nor is it relevant for only behavior therapies or brain trauma
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
since dealing with the results of normal and abnormal brain function is a responsibility of
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
all nurses providing all types of care tothe psychiatric patient.

5. A patient asks the nurse, My wife has breast cancer. Could it be caused by herchro

nic depression? Which response is supported by research data?
t t t t t t t t
a. Too much stress has been proven to cause all kinds of cancer. t t t t t t t t t t t
b. There have been no research studies done on stress and disease yet.

c. Stress does cause the release of factors that suppress the immune system. t t t t t t t t t t t
d. There appears to be little connection between stress and diseases of the body t t t t t t t t t t t t
ANS: C t
Research indicates that stress causes a release of corticotropin-

releasing factors that suppress the immune system. Studies indicate that psychiatric disord

ANS: D t
The parietal lobe is responsible for associating and processing sensory information that all
t t t t t t t t t t t t
ows for functions such as following directions on a map, reading a clock, dressing self, kee
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ping appointments, and distinguishing right from left. Emotional expression is associated
t t t t t t t t t t t
with frontal lobe function. Detecting auditory stimuli is a temporal lobe function. Receivi
t t t t t t t t t t t t
ng visual images is related to occipital lobe function.

7. At admission, the nurse learns that some time ago the patient had an infarct in theright
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
cerebral cortex. During assessment, the nurse would expect to find that the patient:
t t t t t t t t t t t t
a. Demonstrates major deficiencies in speech t t t t
b. Is unable to effectively hold a spoon in the left hand
t t t t t t t t t t
c. Has difficulty explaining how to go about using the telephone t t t t t t t t t
d. Cannot use his right hand to shave himself or comb his own hair t t t t t t t t t t t t
ANS: B t
The cerebral hemispheres are responsible for functions such as control of muscles. The rig
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ht hemisphere mainly controls the motor and sensory functions on the left sideof the body.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Damage to the right side would result in impaired function on the left side of the body. The
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
motor cortex controls voluntary motor activity. Brocas area controls motor speech. Cogni
t t t t t t t t t t t
tive functions are attributed to the association cortex.
t t t t t t t
The right side of the bodys motor activity is controlled by the left cerebral cortex.

The hippocampus plays a major role in short-
t t t t t t t
term memory and, hence, in learning. Taking the medication as prescribed and providing t
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
he education at a time when the patient is calm and relaxed is information or consideration
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
s that all patients should begiven. The medication does not necessarily need to be crushed
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
or dissolved since the stroke would not have caused difficulty with swallowing.

9. The physician tells the nurse, The medication Im prescribing for the patient enha

nces the g- t t
aminobutyric acid (GABA) system. Which patient behavior willprovide evidence t t t t t t t t t t t
hat the medication therapy is successful?
t t t t t
a. The patient is actively involved in playing cards with other patients.
t t t t t t t t t t
b. The patient reports that, I dont feel as anxious as I did a couple of days ago.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
c. The patient reports that both auditory and visual hallucinations have decreased.
t t t t t t t t t t
d. The patient says that, I am much happier than before I came to the hospital.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ANS: B t
GABA is the principle inhibitory neurotransmitter. The medication should provide ananti
t t t t t t t t t t t
anxiety effect. Alertness, psychotic behaviors, and mood elevation are not generally affec
t t t t t t t t t t t
ted by g-aminobutyric acid.

10. The patients family asks whether a diagnosis of Parkinsons disease creates anincr
t t t t t t t t t t t t
eased risk for any mental health issues. What question would the nurse ask toassess fo
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
r such a comorbid condition?
t t t t
a. Has your father exhibited any signs of depression? t t t t t t t
b. Does your father seem to experience mood swings?
t t t t t t t
c. Have you noticed your father talking about seeing things you cant see?
t t t t t t t t t t t
d. Is your dad preoccupied with behaviors that he needs to repeat over and over?
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
ANS: A t
Serotonin and its close chemical relatives, dopamine and norepinephrine, are the neurotr
t t t t t t t t t t t
ansmitters that are most widely involved in various forms of depression. Mostresearchers
t t t t t t t t t t t t
agree that the immediate cause of parkinsonism is a deficiency of dopamine and so a patie
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
nt with Parkinsons disease should be monitored for depression, The other mental health di
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
sorders (bipolar disorder, hallucinations, and obsessive compulsive disorder) have not be

11. Which explanation for the prescription of donepezil (Aricept) would the nursepro
t t t t t t t t t t t
vide for a patient in the early stage of Alzheimers disease?
t t t t t t t t t t
a. It will increase the metabolism of excess GABA. t t t t t t t
b. Excess dopamine will be prevented from attaching to receptor sites.
t t t t t t t t t
c. Serotonin deficiency will be managed through a prolonged reuptake period. t t t t t t t t t
d. The acetylcholine deficiency will be managed by inhibiting cholinesterase.
