Concept of Family Centered Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which statement best demonstrates the current status of the benefit of family involvement to the individual who is mentally ill?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it highlights the current status of the benefit of family involvement for individuals who are mentally ill. It acknowledges that while the benefits of family involvement are well documented, the actual service is not consistently offered in most mental health systems. This indicates a gap between research evidence and practical implementation, hindering the full realization of the benefits. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: A: Incorrect because although confidentiality laws like HIPAA may pose challenges, they do not necessarily limit family involvement entirely. B: Incorrect because family involvement is crucial throughout the mental health journey, not just after stabilization. C: Incorrect because with proper support and resources, families can have a significant impact on the mental health of their loved ones.
Question 2 of 5
The client's chart indicates that she has experienced trauma to the cerebral cortex as a result of injuries sustained during an attempted suicide. Which observation is most likely the result of this injury?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because trauma to the cerebral cortex can lead to difficulties understanding and interpreting language, resulting in the client's statement of confusion about the idiom "raining cats and dogs." This type of injury can affect the client's language comprehension and expression. Choice A is incorrect because crying into a pillow is not directly related to trauma in the cerebral cortex. Choice B is incorrect as involuntary twitching of facial muscles is more indicative of motor-related issues, not language comprehension problems. Choice D is also incorrect as forgetting an address is more related to memory issues rather than language comprehension problems resulting from cerebral cortex trauma.
Question 3 of 5
During an assessment interview with a newly admitted client, the nurse identifies a sense of anger developing in response to the client's defiant statements. In order to maintain a therapeutic environment, the nurse:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: C is correct because it acknowledges the client's emotions without judgment, fostering trust and open communication. It validates the client's feelings and helps explore the underlying issues. A avoids addressing the situation directly. B could escalate the client's defensiveness. D may reinforce the client's behavior by allowing avoidance.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement made by a nurse who manages care for a number of culturally diverse Hispanic clients demonstrates an understanding of the challenges this assignment presents?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "There are many differences between Hispanic subcultures." This answer demonstrates an understanding of the complexity and diversity within the Hispanic community, emphasizing that there is not a monolithic Hispanic culture but rather various subcultures with distinct customs, traditions, and beliefs. Understanding these differences is crucial for providing culturally competent care. Rationale: 1. Option A focuses on language proficiency, not cultural diversity. 2. Option C mentions religious needs but does not address the broader complexity of Hispanic culture. 3. Option D makes a generalization about Hispanic children, not addressing the diversity within Hispanic communities. In summary, the correct answer acknowledges and respects the diverse nature of Hispanic subcultures, highlighting the importance of recognizing and understanding these differences to provide effective care.
Question 5 of 5
A client has been voluntarily admitted to a mental health unit for treatment of acute depression. Which client request will the nurse deny based on this type of commitment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because in a voluntary admission for acute depression, the client retains their basic rights, such as making personal phone calls. However, the nurse may deny the request to have the personal cell phone brought in due to concerns about safety, privacy, and potential access to harmful content. Choice B is incorrect as the client has the right to participate in civic activities like casting a vote. Choice C is incorrect as it involves maintaining personal documentation. Choice D is incorrect as the client has the right to meet with their attorney in a private space.
