2. Both can impair cognitive functions, reaction times, and decision-making abilities.
3. Alcohol disrupts sleep patterns, leading to similar impairments as sleep deprivation.
4. Excessive alcohol consumption can result in accidents and fatalities, similar to sleep-deprived individuals.

Question 2 of 5
When providing care to a patient, the psychiatric-mental health nurse is implementing the therapeutic use of self. The nurse is applying the concepts based on the work of which individual?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hildegarde Peplau. Peplau is known for her work on interpersonal relations in nursing, emphasizing the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. She developed the Theory of Interpersonal Relations, which focuses on the nurse's role in facilitating the patient's growth and development. Through this theory, nurses use themselves as therapeutic tools to promote healing. Florence Nightingale is known for her contributions to nursing practice, but not specifically for therapeutic use of self. Dorothea Dix was a mental health advocate, not directly related to therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. Sigmund Freud is known for psychoanalytic theory, which is not directly related to nurse-patient interactions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is trying to determine whether a client is exhibiting symptoms of depression or of her medical illness. Which of the following group of symptoms would indicate to the nurse that the client may be experiencing depression in addition to being medically ill?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because feeling guilty, difficulty making decisions, and low self-esteem are classic symptoms of depression that are not typically associated with medical illnesses. Feeling guilty and low self-esteem are emotional symptoms commonly seen in depression, while difficulty making decisions is a cognitive symptom often linked with depression. This combination of symptoms suggests a psychological component beyond just the physical manifestations of the medical illness.
Choice A is incorrect because frequent crying is not specifically indicative of depression and can occur in response to physical pain or distress related to the medical illness.
Choice B is incorrect because low self-esteem alone is not enough to conclusively suggest depression in this context, as it can also be a response to the challenges of dealing with a medical condition.
Choice D is incorrect because loss of energy can be a symptom of both depression and medical illness, making it less specific to identifying depression in this case.
Question 4 of 5
A 34-year-old client with depression is admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit. The nurse enters her room and initiates interaction with the client. When talking with the client, which approach would be least appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Animated and cheerful manner. In a psychiatric setting, being overly cheerful can be perceived as insincere or dismissive of the client's feelings.
Step 1: Establishing rapport with a quiet and empathetic manner is important to build trust and show understanding.
Step 2: A matter-of-fact manner helps convey information clearly and concisely.
Step 3: A respectful, direct manner is crucial for setting boundaries and maintaining professionalism. Overall, being overly cheerful may not align with the client's emotional state and could hinder the therapeutic relationship.
Question 5 of 5
A group of nursing students are reviewing information about psychodynamic theories. The students demonstrate a need for additional study when they identify which of the following as a humanistic theorist?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Carl Jung. Jung is not a humanistic theorist; he is known for his analytical psychology, which focuses on the collective unconscious and archetypes. Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow are humanistic theorists who emphasize self-actualization and the importance of human potential. Frederick Perls is associated with Gestalt therapy, not humanistic theory.
Therefore, the nursing students need additional study to correctly identify Carl Jung as a psychodynamic theorist, not a humanistic one.
