emergency room physician suspects that she might be subject to physical abuse in
the home. On evaluation, the PMHNP finds Jenny to be fearful, docile, and
guarded. Although clearly in pain, Jenny seems surprised when the PMHNP
attempts to provide some comfort. The PMHNP notes that:

Question:3
The PMHNP is evaluating 12-year-old Dale after the police were called to the
home. Dale is assessed as having a psychotic episode; he tells the NP that voices
are telling him that he is bad and that he should hurt himself. According to the
,mother, he has no history of psychiatric disease, medications, or really any
concerns at all. Mom says he goes to school, has friends, and has always seemed
―normal.‖ An interview with his 13-year-old sister reveals that while there is no
long-term history of abnormal behavior, for the last couple of weeks things have
been very strange at home. His father has been arrested for ―something to do with
a teenage girl,‖ and their parents have been fighting. His father lost his job, and
there is a lot of talk about money and lawyers and jail. Dale has been very
emotional as he has always been close to his Dad; he seems to go from crying to
laughing in a blink, and is getting in fights at school. Even now, after he has
calmed a bit, Dale’s reality testing is altered. The PMHNP considers that Dale is
demonstrating:
A. Symptoms of childhood schizophrenia
B. A manic episode
C. Brief psychotic disorder
D. Intermittent explosive disorder
C
Question:4
The PMHNP is reviewing assessment data on Richard, a 14-year- old boy who was
brought in for evaluation by his parents. He has a longstanding history of being
difficult, defiant, and argumentative with adults. While considering differential
diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, which of the
following findings meet criteria for conduct disorder?
A. Openly defies rules, argues with adults, is truant from school
B. Shoplifts valuable jewelry, is persistently angry and resentful, runs away
from home
C. Often loses temper in the classroom, upturned a desk at school in anger, is
verbally cruel to classmates
D. Has a history of physical cruelty to the family cat, broke into the neighbors’
house while they were on vacation, starting fist fights at school
D
, Question:5
Which of the following is not a true statement with respect to theorized etiologies
of ADHD?
A. Psychosocial factors do not appear to contribute to the development of
ADHD.
B. Some literature suggests that prenatal exposure to winter infection during the
first trimester of pregnancy leads to ADHD
C. Biological parents of children with ADHD have a higher incidence of the
disorder than adoptive parents
D. Overall, no clear-cut evidence supports a single neurotransmitter in the
development of ADHD
A
Question:6
The PMHNP is providing counseling for the family of a 6-year-old girl who was
recently adopted. This girl reportedly was removed from a home in which she was
subjected to severe, long-term abuse in all forms: neglect, physical abuse, sexual
abuse, malnutrition, and neglect of all medical care. Upon her rescue, which was
incidental during a drug raid on the home, she was hospitalized for over 1 month
for physical maintenance, nutrition, hydration, and treatment for a variety of
infections, including sexually transmitted diseases. The adoptive family is very
committed to providing a healthy environment and is very receptive to long-term
individual and family therapy. The PMHNP discusses with the new parents and
siblings that which of the following is most often linked to this type of history:
A. Dissociative disorders
B. Negative attachment
C. Aggression toward siblings
D. School refusal
A
