ATI Mental Health Final Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an older adult client. Which of the following would the nurse interpret as most indicative of mental health and wellness?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because interacting with others in the environment is a key indicator of mental health and wellness in older adults. Social interaction promotes cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. It helps prevent isolation and depression. Choice A is incorrect as minimal social contacts can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Choice C is incorrect because relying solely on family for assistance may indicate limited social support network. Choice D is incorrect because experiencing bereavement is a normal part of life and does not necessarily indicate mental health and wellness.
Question 2 of 5
A group of nursing students is reviewing information about maladaptive anger. The students demonstrate a need for additional study when they identify which condition as being linked to suppressed anger?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Coronary heart disease. Suppressed anger is linked to conditions like hypertension and arthritis due to the negative impact on the body from unexpressed emotions. However, coronary heart disease is more closely associated with chronic stress, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and genetic factors rather than suppressed anger. Therefore, the nursing students need additional study to understand the specific correlation between suppressed anger and coronary heart disease.
Question 3 of 5
In a psychiatric inpatient setting, the nurse observes an adolescent client's peers calling the client names. In this context, which statement by the nurse exemplifies the concept of empathy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates empathy by acknowledging the client's emotions and inviting them to express their feelings. By saying "I can see that you are upset. Tell me how you feel," the nurse shows understanding and validates the client's experience. This response focuses on the client's perspective and emotions, fostering a supportive and empathetic connection. Choice B focuses more on the nurse's emotions rather than the client's, which may not fully address the client's needs. Choice C shifts the focus to the nurse's past experiences, which may not resonate with the client or address their current feelings. Choice D reflects the nurse's emotions without directly addressing the client's experience, lacking the focus on the client's feelings that is central to empathy.
Question 4 of 5
A 45-year-old male with schizophrenia has been denied the rental of an apartment due to his mental health. Besides being illegal, what is this most closely related to?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: discrimination. Discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of individuals based on certain characteristics, such as mental health status. In this case, the man is being denied housing based on his schizophrenia, which is a form of discrimination. Stigma (A) refers to negative attitudes or beliefs towards a particular group, but it does not involve the actual denial of opportunities like discrimination does. Prejudice (B) is a preconceived opinion or feeling, which can lead to discrimination but is not the same as the act of discrimination itself. Hate crimes (D) involve criminal acts motivated by bias against a particular group, which is not the case in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
The treatment team is recommending disulfiram (Antabuse) for a client who has had multiple admissions for alcohol detoxification. Which nursing question directed to the treatment team would protect this client's right to informed consent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Option A is correct because it focuses on the client's cognitive ability, crucial for giving informed consent. This question ensures the client understands the risks and benefits of disulfiram. Option B is incorrect as adherence is not directly related to informed consent. Option C is incorrect as it shifts focus to liability rather than the client's understanding. Option D is incorrect as it pertains to the least restrictive means of care, not specifically informed consent.
