Question 1 of 5

The nurse is part of a group setting up a mobile crisis service in conjunction with the local police department. Community education on which of the following this team will focus includes?

A. Teaching police officers counseling skills B. Crisis counseling services to be provided in the prison system C. Educating about the dangers of the mentally ill in the community D. Assisting police officers to recognize mental illness

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Mobile crisis services are linked to police departments. These professionals are called to the scene when police officers believe mental health issues are involved. Frequently, the mentally ill individual can be diverted to crisis counseling services or to the hospital, if needed, instead of being arrested and going to jail. Often, these same professionals provide education to police to help them recognize mental illness and perhaps change their attitude about mentally ill offenders. They do not provide direct counseling training to police officers.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse has been working with a client who has a personality disorder and the nurse has recognized the potential for countertransference. How can the nurse best prevent this phenomenon?

A. Reflecting on the nurse's own thinking to identify times where the nurse may project individual feelings on to the client B. Dialoguing with the client about the client's tendency to direct feelings about the client's father on to the nurse C. Teaching the client basic techniques for enhancing coping skills and managing stress D. Challenging the client when the nurse feels that the client is mimicking the nurse's ideas or demeanor

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Countertransference exists when the nurse projects individual feelings on to the client. The opposite phenomenon constitutes transference. Mimicking by a client is not an aspect of countertransference. Fostering coping skills in the client does not affect the nurse's risk of experiencing countertransference.
