Question 1 of 5
An appropriate expected outcome in individual therapy regarding the perpetrator of abuse would be:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it focuses on the perpetrator recognizing destructive patterns and learning alternate responses, which are essential in addressing and preventing abusive behavior. This outcome promotes long-term change by targeting the root cause of the abuse and promoting healthier behaviors. A: Decreasing family interaction does not address the underlying issues of abuse and may not lead to behavior change in the perpetrator. C: Removing the perpetrator from the family may not address the root cause of the abuse and may not lead to sustainable change. D: While a combination of treatment modalities can be beneficial, the focus should be on addressing the behavioral patterns and mindset of the perpetrator.
Question 2 of 5
A school nurse is meeting with a group of elementary school teachers to talk about motor disorders. One of the teachers raises their hand and says, 'I have a student in my class who cannot stop moving her arms unless she sits on her hands. Could this be a movement disorder?' What diagnosis would the nurse suggest as a possibility for this student?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: a stereotypic movement disorder. Stereotypic movement disorder involves repetitive, nonfunctional motor behavior such as hand flapping. In this case, the student's inability to stop moving her arms unless she sits on her hands aligns with the characteristics of stereotypic movement disorder. A tic disorder (choice A) involves sudden, rapid, recurrent, non-rhythmic motor movements or vocalizations. Developmental coordination disorder (choice C) is characterized by difficulties with motor coordination. Normal development for the student's age (choice D) would not explain the specific behavior described by the teacher. Therefore, the most likely diagnosis for the student in this scenario is a stereotypic movement disorder.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following are examples of primary prevention in a community mental health setting? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B (Teaching physical and psychosocial effects of stress to elementary school students). Rationale: 1. Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of mental health issues. 2. Teaching stress management to children helps build coping skills early. 3. Educating on stress effects promotes awareness and resilience. 4. Other choices involve secondary or tertiary prevention strategies.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse understands that one of the many strategies of nonthreatening feedback is to limit the feedback to an appropriate time and place. While in the milieu, which nursing statement is an example of this strategy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: A is the correct answer because it demonstrates the strategy of providing feedback at an appropriate time and place, which is the conference room after visiting hours. This allows for privacy and a conducive environment for discussion. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not consider the appropriateness of the time and place for feedback. B is insensitive to the patient's situation, C brings up a sensitive topic without regard for privacy, and D suggests discussing a grievance in a group setting, which may not be appropriate for addressing personal concerns.
Question 5 of 5
An adult dies in a tragic accident. Afterward, the siblings plan a funeral service. Which statement by a sibling best indicates a sense of self-actualization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates a sense of self-actualization by focusing on finding meaning and positivity in a difficult situation. The sibling acknowledges the unfairness of the death but aims to create a service that celebrates life, showing acceptance, growth, and a higher level of personal fulfillment. Choice A: This statement focuses on the sibling's experience rather than reflecting on the significance of the funeral service. Choice B: While this statement emphasizes conducting the funeral respectfully, it lacks the personal growth and positive outlook that characterize self-actualization. Choice D: This statement is judgmental and places blame on the deceased sibling, showing a lack of understanding and empathy, which is not indicative of self-actualization.
