1. Anurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
client’s behaviors?
t3 t3
1.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate
t3 t3 t3
mental illness in the form of
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
depression.
t3
2.
The client’s behaviors are extensive,
t3 t3 t3 t3
which indicates the presence of mental
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
illness.
t3
3.
The client’sbehaviorsare not congruent
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
with cultural norms.
t3 t3 t3
, 4.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
t3 t3 t3 t3
functional impairment, indicating no
t3 t3 t3 t3
mental illness.
t3 t3
2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
developing a mental illness?
t3 t3 t3 t3
1.
When thoughts, feelings, and t 3 t 3 t 3
behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5
t 3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
criteria.
t3
2.
When maladaptive responses to stress t3 t3 t3 t3
are coupled with interference in daily
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
functioning.
t3
3.
When a client communicates significantt3 t3 t3 t3
distress.
t3
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
ego protection.

3. Anurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
responses to the parents?
t3 t3 t3 t3
1.
Reactions to stress are relative rather t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
than absolute; individual responses to
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
stress vary.
t3 t3
2.
It is abnormal for identical twins to react
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
differentlytosimilarstressors.
t3 t3 t3 t3
3.
Identical twins should share the same t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
temperament and respond similarly to
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
stress.
t3
4.
Environmental influences to stress t3 t3 t3
weigh more heavily than genetic
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
influences.

4. Which client should the nurse anticipate to be most
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
receptive to psychiatric treatment?
t3 t3 t3 t3
1. AJewish, female social worker.
t3 t3 t3 t3
2. ABaptist, homeless male.
t3 t3 t3
3. ACatholic, black male.
t3 t3 t3
4. AProtestant, Swedish business executive.
t3 t3 t3 t3
5. Apsychiatric nurse intern states, “This client’s use of defense
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
1.
Defense mechanisms can be t3 t3 t3
appropriate responses to stress and
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
need not be eliminated.
t3 t3 t3 t3
, 2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive
t3 t3 t3 t3
attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
should always be eliminated.
t3 t3 t3 t3
3.
Defense mechanisms, used t3by t3 t3
individuals with weak ego integrity,
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
should be discouraged and not
t3 t3 t3 t3 t3
eliminated.
