Core Concepts of Family Centered Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which individual has not met the criteria for involuntary commitment to a mental health facility?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because excessive alcohol consumption, while harmful, does not inherently meet the criteria for involuntary commitment. Step 1: Involuntary commitment typically requires imminent danger to self or others. Step 2: While excessive alcohol consumption is concerning, it does not necessarily indicate immediate danger. Step 3: Choices A, B, and C all involve behaviors or conditions that pose a more immediate risk, such as threats of self-harm, severe physical health issues, or disorientation. Thus, D is the only option where the behavior does not meet the criteria for involuntary commitment.
Question 2 of 5
The greatest negative personal result of stigma directed toward those diagnosed with a mental illness is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Low self-esteem. Stigma towards mental illness can lead to individuals internalizing negative beliefs about themselves, resulting in low self-esteem. This can impact their overall well-being and hinder their ability to seek help and engage in social activities. Impaired social skills (B) can be a consequence of stigma but is not the greatest negative personal result. Poor employment prospects (C) and increased risk for substance abuse (D) can also be outcomes of stigma, but they are not directly related to the individual's self-perception and personal well-being as low self-esteem.
Question 3 of 5
A home visiting psychiatric program focuses on pregnant women who have been diagnosed with depression. The success of the intervention is best demonstrated by a client's:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because regular attendance at birthing preparation classes directly reflects engagement with the psychiatric program designed for pregnant women with depression. Attending these classes demonstrates the client's commitment to seeking support and education for her mental health and pregnancy. It also indicates active participation in a structured intervention aimed at improving overall well-being. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly measure the success of the psychiatric program in addressing the client's depression during pregnancy. Choice A focuses on physical health, choice B reflects emotional sentiment, and choice C pertains to medication adherence, which are important but not direct indicators of the intervention's success in treating depression during pregnancy.
Question 4 of 5
The primary advantage of a heterogeneous therapeutic group is that:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because a heterogeneous therapeutic group allows members to examine their experiences from varied points of view. This can lead to greater insight, empathy, and understanding among group members. By hearing different perspectives, individuals can gain new insights into their own struggles and learn from others' experiences. This process can enhance personal growth, promote tolerance, and foster a sense of community within the group. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because while they may be potential advantages of a therapeutic group, they do not specifically address the primary advantage of a heterogeneous group, which is the opportunity to examine experiences from varied points of view. Choice A focuses on diversity in backgrounds, choice B on stepping outside comfort zones, and choice D on creating a sense of solidarity among group members. However, these advantages are not as directly related to the main benefit of a heterogeneous group as choice C.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is managing the care of an older adult who has recently immigrated to the United States from an Asian country. The client is depressed and is neither sleeping nor eating well. In order to best facilitate the client's care in a culturally competent manner, the nurse:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Choice C is correct as it involves discussing interventions with the family, respecting the client's cultural norms and involving them in the care plan. 2. Choice A assumes family involvement without assessing the client's preferences or cultural beliefs, potentially imposing Western values. 3. Choice B focuses solely on individual assessment without considering the importance of family dynamics in the client's culture. 4. Choice D addresses dietary concerns but overlooks the holistic approach of involving the family in the care plan.
