v v v v v v v
v Patient Multiple Choice
v v
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
v v v v v v v v v v v
1. A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing occasional
v v v v v v v v v
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
sleep patterns, and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
client’s behaviors?
v v
1.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate
v v v
mental illness in the form of
v v v v v v
depression.
v
2.
The client’s behaviors are extensive,
v v v v
which indicates the presence of
v v v v v
mental illness.
v v
3.
The client’s behaviors are not congruent
v v v v v
with cultural norms.
v v v
, 4.
The client’s behaviors demonstrate no
v v v v
functional impairment, indicating no
v v v v
mental illness.
v v
2. At what point should the nurse determine that a client is at risk
v v v v v v v v v v v v
for developing a mental illness?
v v v v v
1.
When thoughts, feelings, and v v v
vbehaviors are not reflective of the DSM- v v v v v v
5 criteria.
v
2.
When maladaptive responses to stress
v v v v
are coupled with interference in daily
v v v v v v
functioning.
v
3.
When a client communicates significant
v v v v
distress.
v
4. When a client uses defense mechanisms
v v v v v
as ego protection.
v v v
3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
v v v v v v v v v v
respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the
v v v v v v v v v v v v
other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress
v v v v v v v v v v v v
responses to the parents?
v v v v
1.
Reactions to stress are relative rather v v v v v
than absolute; individual responses to
v v v v v
stress vary.
v v
2.
It is abnormal for identical twins to
v v v v v v
vreact differently to similar stressors.
v v v v
3.
Identical twins should share the same v v v v v
vtemperament and respond similarly to v v v v
vstress.
4.
Environmental influences to stress v v v
weigh more heavily than genetic
v v v v v
influences.

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