1. Anurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
client’s behaviors?
f4 f4
1.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate
f4 f4 f4
mental illness in the form of
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
depression.
f4
2.
The client’s behaviors are extensive,
f4 f4 f4 f4
which indicates the presence of mental
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
illness.
f4
3.
The client’s behaviors are not congruent
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
with cultural norms.
f4 f4 f4
, 4.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
f4 f4 f4 f4
functional impairment, indicating no
f4 f4 f4 f4
mental illness.
f4 f4
2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
for developing a mental illness?
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
1.
When thoughts, feelings, and f 4 f 4 f 4
behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5
f 4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
criteria.
f4
2.
When maladaptive responses to stress f4 f4 f4 f4
are coupled with interference in daily
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
functioning.
f4
3.
When a client communicates significant
f4 f4 f4 f4
distress.
f4
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
ego protection.

3. Anurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
responses to the parents?
f4 f4 f4 f4
1.
Reactions to stress are relative rather f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
than absolute; individual responses to
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
stress vary.
f4 f4
2.
It is abnormal for identical twins to react
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
differentlytosimilar stressors.
f4 f4 f4 f4
3.
Identical twins should share the same f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
temperament and respond similarly to
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
stress.
f4
4.
Environmental influences to stress f4 f4 f4
weigh more heavily than genetic
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
influences.

receptive to psychiatric treatment?
f4 f4 f4 f4
1. AJewish, female social worker.
f4 f4 f4 f4
2. ABaptist, homeless male.
f4 f4 f4
3. ACatholic, black male.
f4 f4 f4
4. AProtestant, Swedish business executive.
f4 f4 f4 f4
5. Apsychiatric nurse intern states, “This client’s use of defense
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
1.
Defense mechanisms can be f4 f4 f4
appropriate responses to stress and
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
need not be eliminated.
f4 f4 f4 f4
, 2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive
f4 f4 f4 f4
attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
should always be eliminated.
f4 f4 f4 f4
3.
Defense mechanisms, used f4by f4 f4
individuals with weak ego integrity,
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
should be discouraged and not
f4 f4 f4 f4 f4
eliminated.
