A staff nurse completes orientation to a psychiatric unit. This nurse may expect an advanced practice nurse to perform which additional intervention? a. Conduct mental health assessments. c. Establish therapeutic relationships. b. Prescribe psychotropic medication. d. Individualize nursing careplans.

When a nursing student expresses concerns about how mental health nurses lose all their nursing skills, the best response by the mental health nurse is: a. Psychiatric nurses practice in safer environments than other specialties. Nurse-to-patient ratios must be better because of the nature of the patients problems. b. Psychiatric nurses use complex communication skills as well as critical thinking to solve multidimensional problems. I am challenged by those situations. c. Thats a misconception. Psychiatric nurses frequently use high technology monitoring equipment and manage complex intravenous therapies. d. Psychiatric nurses do not have to deal with as much pain and suffering as medical-surgical nurses do. That appeals to me. ANS: B The practice of psychiatric nursing requires a different set of skills than medical-surgical nursing, though there is substantial overlap. Psychiatric nurses must be able to help patients with medical as well as mental health problems, reflecting the holistic perspective these nurses must have. Nurse- patient ratios and workloads in psychiatric settings have increased, just like other specialties. Psychiatric nursing involves clinical practice, not just documentation. Psychosocial pain and suffering are as real as physical pain and suffering.

When a new bill introduced in Congress reduces funding for care ofpersons with mental illness, a group of nurses writes letters to their elected representatives in opposition to the legislation. Which role have the nurses fulfilled? a. Recovery c. Advocacy b. Attending d. Evidence-based practice ANS: C An advocate defends or asserts anothers cause, particularly when the other person lacks the ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping patients understand their rights or make decisions. On a community scale, advocacy includes political activity, public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the human condition. Since funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons with mental illness, the letter- writing campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of patients who are unable to articulate their own needs.

Which comment best indicates that a patient perceived the nurse was caring? My nurse: a. always asks me which type of juice I want to help me swallow my medication. b. explained my treatment plan to me and asked for my ideas about how to make it better. c. spends time listening to me talk about my problems. That helps me feel like I am not alone. d. told me that if I take all the medicines the doctor prescribes, then I will get discharged sooner. ANS: C Caring evidences empathetic understanding as well as competency. It helps change pain and suffering into a shared experience, creating a human connection that alleviates feelings of isolation. The distracters give examples of statements that demonstrate advocacy or giving advice.

A nurse encounters an unfamiliar psychiatric disorder on a new patients admission form. Which resource should the nurse consult to determine criteria used to establish this diagnosis? a. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) b. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) c. A behavioral health reference manual d. Wikipedia ANS: B The DSM-5 gives the criteria used to diagnose each mental disorder. The distracters may not contain diagnostic criteria for a psychiatric illness. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: Page 3-4 TOP: Nursing Process: AssessmentMSC: Client Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment 8. A nurse wants to find a description of diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders. Which resource would have the most complete information? a. Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) b. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) c. The ANAs Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice d. International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) ANS: B The DSM-5 details the diagnostic criteria for psychiatric clinical conditions. The other references are good resources but do not define the diagnostic criteria.

Which individual is demonstrating the highest level of resilience? One who: a. is able to repress stressors. b. becomes depressed after the death of a spouse. c. lives in a shelter for two years after the home is destroyed by fire. d. takes a temporary job to maintain financial stability after loss of a permanent job. ANS: D Resilience is closely associated with the process of adapting and helps people facing tragedies, loss, trauma, and severe stress. It is the ability and capacity for people to secure the resources they need to support their well-being. Repression and depression are unhealthy. Living in a shelter for two years shows a failure to move forward after a tragedy. See related audience response question.

NANDA: clinical judgment: NIC: _________________ a. patient outcomes c. diagnosis b. nursing actions d. symptomsANS: B Analogies show parallel relationships. NANDA, the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, identifies diagnostic statements regarding human responses to actual or potential health problems. These statements represent clinical judgments. NIC (Nursing Interventions Classification) identifies actions provided by nurses that enhance patient outcomes. Nursing care activities may be direct or indirect.

A college student said, Most of the time Im happy and feel good about myself. I have learned that what I get out of something is proportional to the effort I put into it. Which number on this mental health continuum should the nurse select? Mental Illness Mental Health 1 2 3 4 5 a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 e. 5 ANS: E The student is happy and has an adequate self-concept.

Which disorder is a culture-bound syndrome? a. Epilepsy c. Running amok b. Schizophrenia d. Major depression ANS: C Culture-bound syndromes occur in specific sociocultural contexts and are easily recognized by people in those cultures. A syndrome recognized in parts of Southeast Asia is running amok, in which a person (usually a male) runs around engaging in furious, almost indiscriminate violent behavior.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) classifies: a. deviant behaviors. c. people with mental disorders. b. present disability or distress. d. mental disorders people have. ANS: D The DSM-5 classifies disorders people have rather than people themselves. The terminology of the tool reflects this distinction by referring to individuals with a disorder rather than as a schizophrenic or alcoholic, for example. Deviant behavior is not generally considered a mental disorder. Present disability or distress is only one aspect of the diagnosis.

A citizen at a community health fair asks the nurse, What is the most prevalent mental disorder in the United States? Select the nurses best response. a. Schizophrenia c. Dissociative fugue b. Bipolar disorder d. Alzheimers disease ANS: D The 12-month prevalence for Alzheimers disease is 10% for persons older than 65 and 50% for persons older than 85. The prevalence of schizophrenia is 1.1% per year. The prevalence of bipolar disorder is 2.6%. Dissociative fugue is a rare disorder. See related audience response question.

In the majority culture of the United States, which individual has the greatest risk to be labeled mentally ill? One who: a. describes hearing Gods voice speaking. b. is usually pessimistic but strives to meet personal goals. c. is wealthy and gives away $20 bills to needy individuals. d. always has an optimistic viewpoint about life and having own needs met. ANS: A The question asks about risk. Hearing voices is generally associated withmental illness, but in charismatic religious groups, hearing the voice of God or a prophet is a desirable event. Cultural norms vary, which makes it more difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. The individuals described in the other options are less likely to be labeled mentally ill. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Analyze (Analysis) REF: Page 4-5 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity 16. A patients relationships are intense and unstable.

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are cross-cultural disorders. c. Symptoms of mental disorders are unchanged from culture to culture. d. Assessment findings in mental disorders reflect a persons cultural patterns. ANS: D A nurse who understands that a patients symptoms are influenced by culture will be able to advocate for the patient to a greater degree than a nurse who believes that culture is of little relevance. The distracters are untrue statements. PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: Page 4-5 TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity 18. A nurse is part of a multidisciplinary team working with groups ofdepressed patients. Half the patients receive supportive interventions and antidepressant medication. The other half receives only medication. The team measures outcomes for each group. Which type of study is evident? a. Incidence c. Co-morbidity b. Prevalence d. Clinical epidemiology ANS: D Clinical epidemiology is a broad field that addresses studies of the natural history (or what happens if there is no treatment and the problem is left to run its course) of an illness, studies of diagnostic screening tests, and observational and experimental studies of interventions used to treat people with the illness or symptoms. Prevalence refers to numbers of new cases. Co- morbidity refers to having more than one mental disorder at a time.Incidence refers to the number of new cases of mental disorders in a healthy population within a given period.

This illness results from developmental factors rather than stress. c. Research shows that this condition more likely has a biological basis. d. It must be frustrating for you that your spouse is sick so much of the time. ANS: C Many of the most prevalent and disabling mental disorders have strong biological influences. Genetics are only one part of biological factors. Empathy does not address increasing the spouses level of knowledge about the cause of the disorder. The other distracters are not established facts.

In the 2 years after this disaster, 140 individuals were diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Which term best applies to these newly diagnosed cases? a. Prevalence c. Incidence b. Co-morbidity d. Parity ANS: C Incidence refers to the number of new cases of mental disorders in a healthy population within a given period of time. Prevalence describes the total number of cases, new and existing, in a given population during a specific period of time, regardless of when they became ill. Parity refers to equivalence, and legislation required insurers that provide mental health coverage to offer annual and lifetime benefits at the same level provided for medical/surgical coverage. Co-morbidity refers to having more than one mental disorder at a time.

There is no functional difference between the two. Both identify human disorders. b. The DSM-5 diagnosis disregards culture, whereas the nursing diagnosis takes culture into account. c. The DSM-5 diagnosis describes causes of disorders whereas a nursingdiagnosis does not explore etiology. d. The DSM-5 diagnosis guides medical treatment, whereas the nursing diagnosis offers a framework for identifying interventions for issues a patient is experiencing. ANS: D The medical diagnosis is concerned with the patients disease state, causes, and cures, whereas the nursing diagnosis focuses on the patients response to stress and possible caring interventions. Both tools consider culture. The DSM-5 is multiaxial. Nursing diagnoses also consider potential problems.

Which aspects of the patients mental health have the greatest and most immediate concern to the nurse? Select all that apply. a. Happiness b. Appraisal of reality c. Control over behavior d. Effectiveness in work e. Healthy self-concept ANS: B, C, EThe aspects of mental health of greatest concern are the patients appraisal of and control over behavior. The appraisal of reality is inaccurate. There are auditory hallucinations, delusions of persecution, and delusions of grandeur. In addition, the patients control over behavior is tenuous, as evidenced by the plan to stab anyone who seems threatening. A healthy self-concept is lacking, as evidenced by the delusion of grandeur. Data are not present to suggest that the other aspects of mental health (happiness and effectiveness in work) are of immediate concern.
