Multidimensional Basis of Health Protective Behaviors Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which mental illness would a nurse identify as being associated with an increase in prolactin level?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is associated with an increase in prolactin levels due to the stress and malnutrition that the body experiences. Prolactin is a hormone that plays a role in reproductive health and is affected by stress and nutritional status. In anorexia nervosa, the body undergoes severe stress and malnutrition, leading to an increase in prolactin levels as a compensatory mechanism. Depression (A), psychosis (B), and Alzheimer's disease (D) are not typically associated with a significant increase in prolactin levels.
