Question 1 of 5
As part of a career day presentation to a group of nursing students, a psychiatric-mental health nurse plans to describe how this specialty developed. Which individual would the nurse describe as playing a major role in the development of specialty training programs for psychiatric nurses?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hildegarde Peplau. She is considered the mother of psychiatric nursing and played a major role in developing specialty training programs for psychiatric nurses. Peplau's interpersonal theory of nursing emphasized the importance of the nurse-patient relationship in mental health care, leading to the integration of psychological principles into nursing practice. Nutting (A) was a nursing education pioneer, Bailey (C) was known for her work in public health nursing, and Richards (D) was the first trained nurse in the US, but they did not have the same impact on psychiatric nursing training as Peplau.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is developing a presentation for a local community group of young and middle-aged adults about common psychosocial problems. Which of the following would be least appropriate for the nurse to integrate into the presentation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it is the least appropriate statement to integrate into the presentation. The presentation is about common psychosocial problems in young and middle-aged adults, and the statement about superior technologic advances primarily applying in the United States is not directly relevant to the topic. Step 1: Identify the topic of the presentation - common psychosocial problems in young and middle-aged adults. Step 2: Evaluate each choice based on relevance to the topic. Step 3: D is least appropriate as it focuses on technological advances rather than psychosocial problems. Step 4: A, B, and C are more relevant as they discuss age range, cultural aspects, and global norms related to the target audience. In summary, D is the least appropriate choice as it deviates from the main focus of the presentation on psychosocial problems in young and middle-aged adults. Choices A, B, and C are more relevant to the topic at hand.

Question 4 of 5
A client presents with the belief that they are going to marry Prince Harry. What delusion are they experiencing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: erotomaniac. This delusion involves falsely believing that someone of higher social status, like a celebrity or royalty, is in love with them. In this case, the client believes they will marry Prince Harry. This delusion is characterized by a romantic or sexual focus on the person of interest. Choice B, grandiose delusion, involves an exaggerated sense of self-importance or power, not related to a specific person. Choice C, somatic delusion, involves beliefs about one's body, health, or physical condition. Choice D, persecutory delusion, involves feeling targeted, harassed, or conspired against, which is not applicable in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
Group members are having difficulty deciding what topic to cover in today's session. Which nurse leader response reflects autocratic leadership?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because an autocratic leader makes decisions for the group without consulting them. In this response, the leader dictates the topic without considering input from group members. Choice B involves democratic leadership by seeking input from everyone. Choice C also reflects democratic leadership by allowing the group to reach a decision collectively. Choice D demonstrates a collaborative approach, not autocratic, as the leader is working with the group to find a suitable topic.
