Psychotropic Medication Quiz Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which statement made by either the nurse or the patient demonstrates an ineffective patient-nurse relationship?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it demonstrates a confrontational and accusatory approach that can hinder trust and communication in the patient-nurse relationship. This statement lacks empathy and understanding, focusing on blaming the patient rather than fostering a supportive and collaborative environment. In contrast, choices A, C, and D show openness, empathy, and collaboration, which are essential for building a positive patient-nurse relationship. Option A demonstrates self-awareness and introspection, option C involves the patient's family in care planning, and option D acknowledges the patient's experience and feedback on the medication's effectiveness.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse practitioner is interviewing a female patient from Southeast Asia. She complains of stomach pain and chest discomfort. Knowing that the patient's adult son died in a car accident last month, the nurse suspects:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Somatization. The patient's physical symptoms may be a manifestation of emotional distress related to the recent loss of her son. This is a common phenomenon where psychological stress is expressed through physical symptoms. The nurse should consider this possibility and explore the patient's emotions and mental health further. A: Vulnerability is a broad term and doesn't directly link the patient's symptoms to her recent loss. B: Acid reflux may cause stomach pain and chest discomfort, but in this case, the nurse should consider the emotional aspect first. D: Transference involves projecting feelings onto the nurse, which is not evident in the scenario provided.
Question 3 of 5
Which situations demonstrate liable behavior on the part of the staff? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because forgetting to obtain consent for a medical procedure, especially for a cognitively impaired patient, is a clear case of liable behavior as it violates the patient's rights and can lead to serious consequences. Choice B is incorrect because leaving a patient with suicidal thoughts alone in the bathroom is a negligent behavior, not liable. Choice C is incorrect because promising to restrain a patient without proper authorization or assessment is not appropriate and can lead to liability issues. Choice D is incorrect because reassuring a paranoid patient about medication safety is not necessarily liable behavior unless there are specific concerns about tampering that were not addressed appropriately.
