Mental Health and Mental IllnessMultiple Choice1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencingoccasional feelings of sadness because of therecent death of a beloved pet. The clients appetite, sleep patterns, and daily routine have notchanged. How should the nurse interpret the clients behaviors?1. The clients behaviors demonstrate mental illness in the form of depression.2. The clients behaviors are extensive, which indicates the presence of mental illness.3. The clients behaviors are not congruent with cultural norms.4. The clients behaviors demonstrate no functional impairment, indicating no mental illness.ANS: 4Rationale: The nurse should assess that the clients daily functioning is not impaired. The client who experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations. Without significant impairment,the clients distress does not indicate a mental illness.Cognitive Level: AnalysisIntegrated Process: Assessment2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk for developing a mentalillness?1. When thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are not reflective of the DSM-5 criteria.2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in daily functioning.3. When a client communicates significant distress.4. When a client uses defense mechanisms as ego protection.ANS: 2Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness when responses to stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in order to be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.Cognitive Level: ApplicationIntegrated Process: Assessment3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very differently to stress.One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries. How should thenurse explain these different stress responses to the parents?1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stress vary.2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences
