Question 2 of 5
A health-care provider prescribes computerized electroencephalography mapping for a client with suspected schizophrenia. Which statement made by the client accurately describes the procedure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Electroencephalography (EEG) mapping involves placing electrodes on the scalp. Step 2: The electrodes measure and mark electrical activity in the brain. Step 3: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder affecting brain function. Step 4: Therefore, the accurate statement is A, as it correctly describes the procedure for EEG mapping in detecting brain wave activity. Summary: B: X-rays are not used for EEG mapping; they are used for bone imaging. C: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is used for visualizing brain structure, not EEG mapping. D: Radioactive substances are not used in EEG mapping; they are used in imaging techniques like PET scans.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse notes that a client is extremely withdrawn, delusional, and emotionally exhausted. The nurse assesses the client's anxiety as which level?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Severe anxiety. The client is showing extreme withdrawal, delusions, and emotional exhaustion, which are indicative of severe anxiety. Severe anxiety is characterized by intense emotional distress and impaired functioning. Mild anxiety (choice A) typically involves minimal impact on daily activities. Moderate anxiety (choice B) may cause some distress but does not result in delusions or extreme withdrawal. Panic anxiety (choice D) is characterized by overwhelming fear and physical symptoms, not necessarily delusions or emotional exhaustion.
Question 5 of 5
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which situation on an inpatient psychiatric unit would require priority intervention by a nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because Maslow's hierarchy of needs prioritizes safety needs, which include protection from harm and violence. In this scenario, a client exhibiting aggressive behavior toward another client poses an immediate threat to safety and requires immediate intervention. Choices A, C, and D relate to psychological and emotional needs, which are important but not as urgent as ensuring physical safety. A: Complaints about visiting hours can be addressed later. C: Feeling uncared for is important but does not pose an immediate danger. D: Feelings of failure should be explored and supported but do not require immediate intervention for safety.
