Concept of Family Health Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
According to the World Health Organization study, which nursing activity addresses the number one psychiatric cause of disability in the world today?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because offering a depression screening at a local school for students in grades 8 through 12 addresses the number one psychiatric cause of disability in the world today, according to the World Health Organization study. Depression screening in schools can help identify mental health issues early, leading to timely intervention and support for students. This proactive approach aligns with the WHO's focus on addressing mental health challenges globally. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the number one psychiatric cause of disability as identified by the WHO study. Arranging transportation to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, helping a family understand OCD, and providing nursing care for the schizophrenic population are important activities but do not specifically target the primary psychiatric cause of disability worldwide.
Question 2 of 5
Which mental health service focuses on a largely underserved at-risk population?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A depression support group for adolescent children. This population is largely underserved due to stigma, lack of resources, and limited awareness. Adolescents are at a vulnerable stage in their lives and may struggle to express their emotions and seek help. Providing a support group specifically tailored to address their mental health needs can offer a safe space for them to share experiences, receive guidance, and build coping skills. Stress management classes for new mothers (A) target a specific demographic but not as underserved as adolescent children. A support group for recovering male alcoholics (B) and socialization therapy for adults with schizophrenia (D) also address important mental health issues but are not focused on as an underserved population as adolescent children struggling with depression.
Question 3 of 5
Which question asked by the nurse best serves as a screening tool for the assessment of a possible problem with alcohol abuse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it directly assesses the individual's control over alcohol consumption, a key indicator of potential alcohol abuse. By asking if the person has ever consumed more alcohol than intended in the last year, the nurse can gauge if there are issues with self-regulation and potential abuse. Choices A, B, and C focus on past behaviors or family history, which are important but do not directly address current patterns of alcohol consumption and potential abuse.
Question 4 of 5
When it is suggested that a stress management therapy group have its membership limited to 15 participants, the nurse manager responds:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it addresses the need for effective therapeutic work. By stating that the maximum number supporting therapeutic work is 10, it indicates an understanding of group dynamics and ensures each member receives adequate attention and participation in the group process. Creating two separate groups if there is more interest demonstrates flexibility while maintaining the quality of the therapy sessions. A: This answer limits enrollment based on interest, which may not necessarily correlate with the effectiveness of the therapy group. B: This answer assumes that not everyone who signs up will attend, which does not address the issue of group dynamics and therapeutic effectiveness. C: This answer suggests including additional individuals beyond the 15 limit, which could lead to overcrowding and hinder the therapeutic process.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is conducting a family assessment. When asked about her children's performance at school, the single mother reported that her oldest, a 10-year-old, 'does OK with schoolwork but doesn't have any interest in being friends with the kids in her school.' To further investigate this situation the nurse asks the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking the child what she does at home after school can provide insights into her social interactions, interests, and possible reasons for not having friends at school. This approach allows the nurse to understand the child's daily routine, activities, and possible areas for intervention or support. A: Asking the child directly why she doesn't have friends may not yield accurate information as the child may not be able to articulate her feelings or may not be comfortable discussing the issue openly. B: Inquiring about the younger children's friendships is not relevant to understanding the oldest child's situation and may not provide meaningful insights. D: Involving the teacher or counselor without understanding the child's perspective first may not address the underlying reasons for her lack of friends and may not be the most appropriate initial step in the assessment process.
