1. As part of a class activity, nursing students are engaged in a small group discussion about the
epidemiology of mental illness. Which statement best explains the importance of epidemiology in
understanding the impact of mental disorders? Epidemiology:
A) Helps promote understanding of the patterns of occurrence associated with mental disorders.
B) Helps explain research findings about the neurophysiology that causes mental disorders.
C) Provides a thorough theoretical explanation of why specific mental disorders occur.
D) Predicts when a specific psychiatric client will recover from a specific mental disorder.
Ans: A
Chapter: 1
Client Needs: Safe, Effective
Cognitive Level: Apply
Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning Objective: 4
Page Number: 2
Feedback: Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease distribution and determinants of health
within populations. It contributes to the overall understanding of the mental health status of population
groups, or aggregates, and it examines the associations among possible factors. Epidemiology does not
explain research findings about neurophysiology, provide theoretical explanations for why specific
disorders occur, or predict recovery.
2. A nurse is working in a community mental health center that provides care to a large population of
people of Asian descent. When developing programs for this community, which of the following would be
most important for the nurse to address?
A) Public stigma
B) Self-stigma
C) Label avoidance
D) Negative life events
Ans: C
Chapter: 1
Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity Cognitive Level: Understand
Integrated Process: Nursing Process Objective: 5
Page Number: 4
Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this
cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so as
not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with mental health
problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of mental illness that
influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the symptoms or refuse to
seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone, not just those of the Asian
culture.
3. A nursing student is assigned to care for a client diagnosed with schizophrenia. When talking about
this client in a clinical post-conference, the student would use which terminology when referring to the
client?
A) Committed client
B) Schizophrenic
