Which statement about mental illness is true?

Rationale: Rationale: - Choice C is correct because mental illness is indeed influenced by cultural, historical, political factors, and societal definitions. - Mental illness is not solely about nonconformity (Choice A), irrational behavior (Choice B), or individual control (Choice D).

Question 2 of 5
As you begin working with her, you notice Ms. V has an uncanny resemblance to your younger sister. As a child, this sister lied and criticized you constantly, then screamed and cried to others if you challenged her. You realize that you are responding negatively to this patient. What’s going on here?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Countertransference. Countertransference refers to the therapist's emotional reaction towards a client based on the therapist's own unresolved feelings or experiences. In this scenario, the therapist is reacting negatively to the patient due to unresolved feelings related to their past interactions with their younger sister. This negative reaction can impact the therapeutic relationship and the therapist's ability to provide effective treatment. Summary: A: Mutuality does not address the therapist's personal reaction to the patient. B: Self-System focuses on the client's self-concept, not the therapist's reaction. C: Self-actualization pertains to the client's personal growth, not the therapist's emotional response.
Question 3 of 5
A newly divorced 36-year-old mother of three has difficulty sleeping. When she shares this information to her gynecologist, she suggests which of the following services as appropriate for her patient's needs?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Patient-centered medical home. This option is appropriate because it offers comprehensive, coordinated, and patient-centered care, which is crucial for addressing the patient's sleep difficulties. The patient's primary care provider can coordinate care, ensuring all her medical and emotional needs are met, including managing stress associated with divorce. Incorrect choices: A: Assertive community treatment is more suitable for individuals with severe mental illnesses who require intensive community-based support. C: Psychiatric home care is typically for individuals with severe mental health issues requiring specialized psychiatric services at home. D: While the primary care provider is essential, simply referring the patient back to them may not address the underlying causes of her sleep difficulties comprehensively.
Question 4 of 5
Which intervention demonstrates a nurse's understanding of the initial action associated with the assessment of a patient's spiritual beliefs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking the patient what role spirituality plays in daily life shows understanding of the initial action in assessing spiritual beliefs. This approach allows the nurse to gather information directly from the patient, which is essential in understanding individual beliefs. Choice A may assume the patient's beliefs, choice B involves outside intervention, and choice D focuses on providing care rather than assessing beliefs.
Question 5 of 5
Amadi is a 40-year-old African national being treated in a psychiatric outpatient setting due to a court order. Amadi's medical record is limited in scope, so where can Renata, his registered nurse, obtain more data on Amadi's condition within legal parameters? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Emergency department records. Renata, as Amadi's nurse, can obtain more data on his condition from the emergency department records because they may contain relevant information about his psychiatric evaluation at the time of the court order. It is within legal parameters since it pertains to his current treatment. B: Police records related to the offense are not directly related to Amadi's psychiatric condition and may not provide necessary medical information. C: Calling his family in Africa for details is a breach of patient confidentiality and violates legal and ethical boundaries. D: Past medical records in the current facility may be limited in scope, as mentioned in the question, and may not provide a comprehensive understanding of Amadi's condition.
