Question 1 of 5
Which Western cultural feature may result in establishing unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Direct confrontation to solve problems. This Western cultural feature may result in establishing unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups because direct confrontation may be perceived as aggressive or disrespectful in many cultures. Patients from these cultural groups may prefer indirect communication or conflict resolution methods. Therefore, using direct confrontation could lead to misunderstandings, resistance, or lack of cooperation from patients. A: Interdependence is a common cultural value in many cultures and does not necessarily lead to unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups. B: Present orientation is a temporal orientation and does not directly impact outcomes for patients from other cultural groups. C: Flexible perception of time may differ across cultures but does not inherently lead to unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups.
Question 2 of 5
A group of students are reviewing information about mental health care after World War II. The students demonstrate understanding of this information when they identify which of the following as a result of the National Mental Health Act?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, Establishment of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), as a result of the National Mental Health Act. This is because the National Mental Health Act of 1946 led to the creation of NIMH in 1949. NIMH is dedicated to research on mental illnesses and disorders, promoting mental health, and providing resources for mental health professionals and the public. Choice A, Discovery of psychopharmacology, is incorrect as it is not a direct result of the National Mental Health Act. Choice B, Passage of the Hill-Burton Act, is also incorrect as it focused on improving hospital facilities, not specifically mental health care. Choice D, Development of community mental health centers, is incorrect as it was a result of the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963, not the National Mental Health Act.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a young adult and determines that the individual has achieved successful resolution of the previous stage of growth and development, evidenced by demonstrating which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Devotion and fidelity. This indicates that the individual has successfully resolved the stage of growth and development according to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. Devotion refers to the ability to form solid relationships and commitments, while fidelity means being able to maintain loyalty and trust in these relationships. These qualities show that the individual has successfully navigated the intimacy vs. isolation stage, which is characteristic of young adulthood. Now, let's analyze why the other choices are incorrect: A: Drive and hope - These qualities are more related to the stage of initiative vs. guilt in early childhood, not the young adulthood stage. B: Direction and purpose - While important, these qualities are more reflective of the previous stage of identity vs. role confusion in adolescence. D: Production and care - These qualities are more associated with the later stage of generativity vs. stagnation in middle adulthood, not young adulthood.
Question 4 of 5
During a staff meeting, a therapist mentions planning to use bibliotherapy with a patient. Later that morning, the patient approaches the nurse and says his therapist just talked to him but that he is having trouble understanding what his therapist wants him to do. When the nurse asks him to clarify his concern, he asks what 'bibliotherapy' really means. Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because bibliotherapy involves using books to help individuals understand and cope with emotional or psychological problems. This form of therapy encourages patients to read specific books that address their issues, providing insights and strategies for personal growth and healing. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on listing books rather than actual reading for therapeutic purposes. Option B is incorrect as it misrepresents bibliotherapy as a shopping-related coping technique. Option C is incorrect as it suggests the therapist imparts knowledge rather than utilizing books as the main therapeutic tool.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing a presentation for mental health promotion for young and middle-aged adults and is planning to address changes in family structure. Which of the following would the nurse include as reflecting marriage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: - Option C is correct because middle-aged adults are most likely to be married, reflecting a common life stage where many individuals have already established long-term relationships or families. - Option A is incorrect because the peak marriage age can vary and is not a universal range. - Option B is incorrect as marrying in one's teens does not necessarily predict divorce rates for all individuals. - Option D is incorrect as there is no direct correlation between marrying between the ages of 23 to 27 years and divorce rates.
