Psychobiological Disorders Questions
Question 1 of 5
When are the Korotkoff's sounds audible while measuring blood pressure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because Korotkoff's sounds become audible upon beginning to lower the pressure of the inflated cuff. Initially, the cuff pressure is higher than the systolic pressure, leading to the complete cessation of blood flow and no sounds. As the cuff pressure decreases, blood flow partially resumes, creating turbulent sounds during systole (phase 1) until the sounds disappear at the diastolic pressure (phase 5). Choices A and B are incorrect as sounds are not audible at full inflation or upon placement of the stethoscope. Choice D is incorrect as Korotkoff's sounds are heard throughout systole, not just during diastole.
Question 2 of 5
Clint, a client on the psychiatric unit, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He begins to tell the nurse about how the CIA is looking for him and will kill him if they find him. Clint's belief is an example of a:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Delusion of persecution. This is because Clint's belief that the CIA is looking for him and will kill him falls under the category of delusion of persecution, where an individual believes they are being targeted, harmed, or conspired against. This delusion is common in schizophrenia. Choice B: Delusion of reference involves believing that neutral events or objects have personal significance. This is not the case in Clint's situation. Choice C: Delusion of control or influence pertains to believing that external forces are controlling one's thoughts or actions. Clint's belief does not involve control or influence. Choice D: Delusion of grandeur involves believing in one's exceptional abilities, wealth, or status. Clint's belief does not align with this type of delusion.
Question 3 of 5
The primary focus of family therapy for clients with schizophrenia and their families is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because family therapy for clients with schizophrenia aims to promote family interaction and increase understanding of the illness. This is crucial for creating a supportive environment and enhancing communication within the family unit. By increasing understanding of the illness, family members can better grasp the challenges their loved one faces and provide more effective support. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not address the core focus of family therapy for schizophrenia, which is centered around improving family dynamics and educating family members about the illness to enhance the overall treatment approach.
