Question 1 of 5
A patient who has continuously experienced severe symptoms of schizoaffective disorder for the past 17 years is experiencing an acute psychotic episode. Which level of care is most appropriate for this patient at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Long-stay clients in an inpatient setting are people with severe and persistent mental illness who continue to require acute care services despite the current emphasis on decreased hospital stays. This population includes clients who were hospitalized before deinstitutionalization and remain hospitalized despite efforts at community placement. It also includes clients who have been hospitalized consistently for long periods despite efforts to minimize their hospital stays. Partial hospitalization is designed for patients transitioning to independent living. Residential treatment and clubhouse model provide supervised independent living.

Question 4 of 5
A psychiatric-mental health nurse is working with a female client who has been a victim of abuse to foster a sense of empowerment and build relationships that are mutually satisfying. The nurse is incorporating the work of which theorist?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Jean Baker Miller (1927-2006) conceptualized female development within the context of experiences and relationships. The Miller relational model views the central organizing feature of women's development as a sense of connection to others. The goal of development is to increase a woman's ability to build and enlarge mutually enhancing relationships. With Neuman's model, the key components are a client system (physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, spiritual) interacting with the environment. The wholistic model can be applied to prevention and treatment. Hildegarde Peplau (1909-1999) introduced the first systematic theoretic framework for psychiatric nursing and focused on the nurse-patient relationship. Self-care is the focus of the general theory of nursing initiated by Dorothea Orem.
