Chapter 01: Mental Health and Mental Illness
Halter: Varcarolis\u2019 Foundations of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing: A Clinical
Approach, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The scope of practiced for an advanced nurse practitioner would include which intervention?
    a. Conducting a mental health assessment.
    b. Prescribing psychotropic medication.
    c. Establishing a therapeutic relationship.
    d. Individualizing a nursing care plan.
    ANS: B
    In most states, prescriptive privileges are granted to master\u2019s-prepared nurse practitioners and
    clinical nurse specialists who have taken special courses on prescribing medication. The nurse
    prepared at the basic level is permitted to perform mental health assessments, establish
    relationships, and provide individualized care planning.

  2. A nursing student expresses concerns that mental health nurses \u201close all their clinical nursing
    skills.\u201d Select the best response by the mental health nurse.
    a. \u201cPsychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-toclient ratios must be better because of the nature of the clients\u2019 problems.\u201d
    b. \u201cPsychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinking
    to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations.\u201d
    c. \u201cThat\u2019s a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology
    monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies.\u201d
    d. \u201cPsychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as
    medical\u2013surgical nurses do. That appeals to me.\u201d
    ANS: B
    The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical\u2013surgical
    nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help clients
    with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nurses
    must have. Nurse\u2013client ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like
    other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just documentation.
    Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.

  3. When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care of persons diagnosed with
    mental illness, a group of nurses write letters to their elected representatives in opposition to
    the legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled?
    a. Recovery
    b. Attending
    c. Advocacy
    d. Evidence-based practice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    ANS: C
    An advocate defends or asserts another\u2019s cause, particularly when the other person lacks the
    ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping clients understand
    their rights or make decisions. On a community scale, advocacy includes political activity,
    public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the human condition. Since
    funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons with mental illness, the letterwriting campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of clients who are unable to articulate
    their own needs.

      \n
    1. A family has a long history of conflicted relationships among the members. Which family
      member\u2019s comment best reflects a mentally healthy perspective?
      a. \u201cI\u2019ve made mistakes but everyone else in this family has also.\u201d
      b. \u201cI remember joy and mutual respect from our early years together.\u201d
      c. \u201cI will make some changes in my behavior for the good of the family.\u201d
      d. \u201cIt\u2019s best for me to move away from my family. Things will never change.\u201d
      ANS: C
      The correct response demonstrates the best evidence of a healthy recognition of the
      importance of relationships. Mental health includes rational thinking, communication skills,
      learning, emotional growth, resilience, and self-esteem. Recalling joy from earlier in life may
      be healthy, but the correct response shows a higher level of mental health. The other incorrect
      responses show blaming and avoidance.

    2. Which assessment finding most clearly indicates that a client may be experiencing a mental
      illness?
      a. reporting occasional sleeplessness and anxiety.
      b. reporting a consistently sad, discouraged, and hopeless mood.
      c. being able to describe the difference between \u201cas if\u201d and \u201cfor real.\u201d
      d. experiencing difficulty making a decision about whether to change jobs.
      ANS: B
      The correct response describes a mood alteration, which reflects mental illness. The distracters
      describe behaviors that are mentally healthy or within the usual scope of human experience.

    3. Which finding best indicates that the goal \u201cDemonstrate mentally healthy behavior\u201d was
      achieved for an adult client?
      a. being willing to work towards achieving ideals and meeting demands.
      b. behaving without considering the consequences of personal actions.
      c. aggressively meeting personal needs without considering the rights of others.
      d. seeking help from others to avoid assuming responsibility for major areas of own
      life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      ANS: A
      Mental health is a state of well-being in which individuals reach their own potential, cope
      with the normal stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to the community. Mental
      health provides people with the capacity for rational thinking, communication skills, learning,
      emotional growth, resilience, and self-esteem. The correct response describes an adaptive,
      healthy behavior. The distracters describe maladaptive behaviors.

      1. A nurse encounters an unfamiliar psychiatric disorder on a new client\u2019s admission form.
        Which resource should the nurse consult to determine criteria used to establish this diagnosis?
        a. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems
        (ICD-10)
        b. The ANA\u2019s Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice
        c. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V)
        d. A behavioral health reference manual
        ANS: C
        The DSM-V gives the criteria used to diagnose each mental disorder. It is the official guideline
        for diagnosing psychiatric disorders. The distracters may not contain diagnostic criteria for a
        psychiatric illness.

        TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. A nurse wants to find a description of diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders. Which resource
        would have the most complete information?
        a. Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC)
        b. DSM-V
        c. The ANA\u2019s Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice
        d. ICD-10
        ANS: B
        The DSM-V details the diagnostic criteria for psychiatric clinical conditions. It is the official
        guideline for diagnosing psychiatric disorders. The other references are good resources but do
        not define the diagnostic criteria.

      3. Which individual behavior demonstrates resilience?
        a. Repress stressors associated with a divorce.
        b. Continuing to grieve the death of a spouse for 5 years.
        c. Continuing to live in a shelter for 2 years after the home is destroyed by fire.
        d. Taking a temporary job to maintain financial stability after loss of a permanent
        job.
