h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j




1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing h j h j h j h j h j h j h j hj


hj occasional feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a
hj h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j beloved pet. The client’s appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine
h j h j h j hj h j h j h j h j h j


h have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the client’s
j h j h j h j h j h j hj h j h j h j


h behaviors?
j




The client’s behaviors demonstrate
h j h j h j
1.
mental illness in the form of
h j hj h j h j h j h j


depression.
h j


The client’s behaviors are extensive,
h j h j h j h j
2.
which indicates the presence of mental
h j hj h j h j h j h j


illness.
h j


The client’s behaviors are not
h j h j h j h j
3.
congruent with
h j hj


cultural norms. h j


The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
h j h j hj h j


4. functional impairment, indicating no
hj h j h j h j


mental
hj


illness.



2. At what point should the nurse determine that a h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j client is at risk for developing a mental illness?
h j h j hj h j hj h j h j h j


When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors h j h j h j h j
1.
are h j


not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria. h j h j h j h j h j


When maladaptive responses to stress are hj h j h j hj h j


2. coupled with interference in daily hj h j h j h j hj


functioning.
When a client communicates significant h j h j h j h j
3.
distress.
When a client uses defense h j h j h j h j
4.
mechanisms as h j h j


ego protection. h j




3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical hj h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j twins who respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes
hj h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How
h j h j hj h j h j h j h j h j h j

,h j should the nurse explain these different stress responses to the
h j h j h j h j hj h j h j h j hj


h parents?
j


Reactions to stress are relative rather than h j hj h j h j h j h j


1. absolute; individual responses to stress hj h j h j h j h j


vary.
It is abnormal for identical twins to h j h j h j h j h j h j
2.
react differently to similar stressors. h j hj h j h j h j


Identical twins should share the same h j h j h j h j h j
3.

stress. h j


Environmental influences to stress h j h j h j
4.
weigh more heavily than genetic h j hj h j h j h j

3. A Catholic, black male. hj h j h j


4. A Protestant, Swedish business h j h j h j


executive. h j




5. A psychiatric nurse intern states, “This client’s use
hj h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j of defense mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct
hj h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
h j h j hj h j


Defense mechanisms can be appropriate h j hj hj h j


1. responses to stress and need not be hj h j hj hj h j h j h j


eliminated.
Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive h j h j hj h j


2. attempt of the ego to manage hj h j h j h j h j hj


anxiety and h j h j


should always be eliminated. h j h j h j


Defense mechanisms, used by hj hj hj


3. individuals with weak ego integrity, hj hj h j hj h j


should be h j h j


discouraged and not eliminated. h j h j h j




Defense mechanisms cause disintegration h j hj h j


4. of the ego and should be fostered
h j hj h j h j h j h j h j


and
h j


encouraged.



6. During h j an h j intake h j assessment, h j a h j nurse h j asks h j both

, hjphysiological and psychosocial questions. The client angrily responds,
h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h j“I’m here for my heart, not my head problems.” Which is the
h j hj h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


h jnurse’s best response?
h j h j


“It is just a routine part of our h j h j h j h j h j h j h j


1. assessment. All clients are asked hj hj h j h j h j


these same h j h j


questions.”
“Why are you concerned about these h j h j h j h j h j
2.
types of h j hj


questions?”
“Psychological factors, like excessive hj hj hj


3. stress, have been found to affect hj hj h j h j h j h j


medical h j


conditions.”
“We can skip these questions, if you h j h j h j h j h j h j


4. like. It isn’t imperative that we hj hj h j h j h j hj


complete this h j h j


section.”


7. An employee uses the defense mechanism of h j h j h j h j h j h j
