Question 2 of 5
The nurse is managing the care of a client who recently lost his job and is diagnosed with mild situational depression.

The nurse is satisfied that a client's lack of formal education has not become a risk factor to his mental health when he:
Correct Answer: B

Reflecting on his problem and formulating a realistic plan to find another job shows the client's ability to cope and problem-solve, indicating resilience. 2. This demonstrates that the client is actively engaging in positive behaviors to address his situation, which is crucial in managing situational depression. 3. By formulating a plan, the client shows motivation and initiative, which are essential in overcoming challenges. 4. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the client's situation of job loss and his need to find employment, making them less relevant in this context.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement describes the basis of an ethical dilemma?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why answer D is correct: 1. An ethical dilemma involves a situation where there is a conflict between two morally acceptable choices. 2. In this scenario, the dilemma is presented as having only two treatment choices which are both painful and have low success rates. 3. The basis of an ethical dilemma is the difficulty in making a decision when faced with two undesirable options. 4. Therefore, option D accurately describes the essence of an ethical dilemma. Summary of why other choices are incorrect: A. Focuses on client-team disagreement, not a true ethical dilemma. B. Describes a situation of potential harm but not a conflict between two morally acceptable choices. C. Discusses decision-making for an incompetent client, which is a different ethical issue than presented in the question.
Question 4 of 5
Access to mental health care services has been identified as a necessary component in an effective mental health care system. Which intervention demonstrates an attempt to meet the needs of an underserved group of Americans?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because establishing a mobile mental health clinic in a rural farming community directly addresses the issue of access to mental health care for an underserved group. This intervention ensures that individuals in remote areas have access to much-needed mental health services. In contrast, choices B, C, and D do not specifically target an underserved group. Choice B focuses on stress management for specific personnel, choice C targets eating disorders screenings in schools, and choice D educates parents on signs of depression but does not directly address access to mental health services for an underserved group. Therefore, choice A is the best option for meeting the needs of an underserved population.

By acknowledging this, nurses can advocate for increased understanding and support for those struggling with mental illness. A: While stigmatization does increase stress, this does not directly explain the basis for nursing advocacy. C: Mental illness being chronic does not explain the rationale behind advocating to eliminate stigma. D: While the mentally ill deserve support, this choice does not address the underlying reason for advocacy focused on stigma reduction.
