Core Concepts of Family Centered Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which nursing intervention is directed toward one of the aims of primary preventive psychiatric nursing care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because providing stress management classes to new parents aligns with primary preventive psychiatric nursing care, which aims to prevent mental health issues before they occur. This intervention promotes mental wellness by teaching coping skills and reducing stressors. Counseling abuse victims (A) is secondary prevention, addressing existing mental health issues. Screening for depression in senior citizens (C) is tertiary prevention, aimed at early detection and treatment of mental health conditions. Arranging transportation to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings (D) is also secondary prevention, targeting individuals with existing substance abuse problems.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
An Asian-American client has been prescribed an antidepressant medication for severe depression. When the nurse prepares discharge teaching topics for this client, which specific information will be included?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Correct Answer (C) - Some racial and ethnic groups are genetically predisposed to enzyme deficiencies that require medications at lower dosages. Step 2: Explanation - Certain racial and ethnic groups may have genetic variations that affect how they metabolize medications, leading to enzyme deficiencies. This can result in the need for lower dosages to avoid adverse effects. Step 3: Incorrect Choices: A: Incorrect - Stereotyping the Asian culture as resistant to antidepressants is not evidence-based. Compliance is important for all patients regardless of culture. B: Incorrect - Absorption issues related to specific ethnic foods are not a generalized concern for all Asian-Americans taking antidepressants. D: Incorrect - While it is true that antidepressants may take weeks to reach therapeutic levels, the question is asking about specific considerations for an Asian-American client, not a general fact about medication effectiveness.
