ATI Mental Health Final Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) diagnoses can suffer from ineffective healthcare. Providers may be unaccustomed to working with this population or not comprehend obscure details described by the person seeking medical attention. This hurdle can be overcome by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Integrating mental and physical health in one setting. This approach ensures that individuals with SMI receive holistic care addressing both their mental and physical health needs simultaneously. By having mental health professionals collaborate with medical providers in one setting, communication barriers are reduced, leading to more effective treatment. This integrated approach also helps in better coordination of care and ensures that all aspects of the individual's health are considered. Choice A (Seeking medical attention at the emergency department) is incorrect because it does not address the long-term need for integrated care for individuals with SMI. Choice B (Having a community clinic in the area where the SMI live) might help with accessibility but does not guarantee the integration of mental and physical health services. Choice C (Medicating the patient before a medical examination) is inappropriate as it does not address the underlying issue of healthcare disparity for individuals with SMI.
Question 2 of 5
A client diagnosed with borderline personality disorder tells the nurse that she frequently spaces out. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: "What's happening around you when this occurs?" This question is appropriate because it helps the nurse gather more information about the client's experiences during the spacing out episodes, which can provide insights into triggers or patterns. It allows the client to describe the context of the episodes, aiding in the assessment and potential identification of stressors or environmental factors contributing to the dissociative experiences. Incorrect answers: A: "Do you feel stressed most of the time?" This answer assumes stress as the primary cause without exploring other potential triggers. B: "Does this frighten you when it happens?" This answer focuses on the emotional response rather than the environmental context, which may not be as helpful in understanding the situation. D: "Do you feel as if you are out of your body?" This answer is more specific and may jump to conclusions about depersonalization, which may not necessarily be the client's experience.
Question 3 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.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse receives these three phone calls regarding a newly admitted patient. The psychiatrist wants to complete an initial assessment. An internist wants to perform a physical examination. The patient's attorney wants an appointment with the patient. The nurse schedules the activities for the patient. Which role has the nurse fulfilled?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Case manager. The nurse acted as a case manager by coordinating and scheduling activities for the patient based on the input from different professionals involved in the patient's care. The nurse's role in this scenario was to ensure that all aspects of the patient's care were organized and managed effectively. A: Advocate - While the nurse may advocate for the patient's needs, in this scenario, the nurse's primary role was to coordinate care rather than advocate for a specific outcome. C: Milieu manager - This role involves managing the therapeutic environment, which is not directly related to scheduling activities for the patient. D: Provider of care - In this scenario, the nurse was not providing direct care to the patient but rather coordinating care provided by other healthcare professionals.
