Question 1 of 5
Which nursing activity is a direct result of the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963 emphasized a multidisciplinary approach to mental health care, requiring nurses to be part of a client's treatment team. This legislation aimed to provide comprehensive community-based mental health services, promoting collaboration among different professionals to address clients' needs holistically. Choice B is incorrect because extensive admissions assessments were not a direct result of this act. Choice C is incorrect as the act did not specifically address the use of physical restraints. Choice D is incorrect because educating clients on neurotransmitters is not directly linked to the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963.

Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking for permission to take the client's blood pressure demonstrates respect for their autonomy and acknowledges their physical health needs.

Choice B is unrelated to the client's health challenges. Choice D addresses medication compliance but does not directly address the client's current health status. Overall, choice C is the best option as it considers both the client's mental and physical well-being.

Question 4 of 5
Which nursing statement describes the basis of the ethical theory called utilitarianism?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: C is correct because it reflects the utilitarian principle of maximizing overall well-being. By preventing one client from smoking in the day room, the nurse is prioritizing the health and well-being of all clients in that space. This action aims to benefit the greatest number of individuals. Incorrect Choices: A: This statement reflects autonomy (ethical principle), not utilitarianism. B: This statement reflects the golden rule (ethical principle), not utilitarianism. D: This statement emphasizes equality and access to care, not the utilitarian principle of maximizing overall well-being.
Question 5 of 5

By educating mothers on managing stress, potential mental health issues can be addressed proactively. Rationale for other choices: A: Assessing for suicidal ideations is important for safety but focuses on managing existing disabilities rather than preventive care. C: Accommodating a client's preference for liquid medications is client-centered care, but does not necessarily shift the focus towards prevention. D: Scheduling a follow-up visit ensures continuity of care but does not address preventive measures.
