Question 1 of 5
You are caring for Naomi who has been arrested and is found to be at risk for alcohol and drug use. Which approach is thought to be most useful in treating Naomi?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because providing an immediate drug/alcohol treatment plan is crucial for addressing Naomi's substance use issue effectively. By providing immediate treatment, Naomi can receive the necessary support and interventions to address her substance use and prevent potential relapse. This approach ensures that Naomi's needs are addressed promptly and increases the likelihood of successful recovery. A: Recommending treatment after release may delay necessary interventions and increase the risk of substance use continuation. C: Immediately withdrawing all medications can be harmful and dangerous, especially without proper medical supervision. D: Isolating the patient can lead to feelings of abandonment and worsen the substance use issue without addressing the root cause.
Question 2 of 5
What type of personality disorder is characterized by eccentric, odd, or peculiar behavior, thinking, and beliefs?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cluster A. This cluster includes personality disorders such as paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal disorders, which are characterized by eccentric, odd, or peculiar behavior, thinking, and beliefs. These individuals often have difficulty forming and maintaining social relationships due to their unusual behaviors and beliefs. Choices B and C (Cluster B and Cluster C) do not specifically encompass personality disorders with eccentric or odd traits. Choice D (General personality disorders) is not a recognized category in the DSM-5 for personality disorders, making it an incorrect choice.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following actions reflect the nurse's role of advocate in an inpatient psychiatric setting? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: A: The nurse advocating for a mentally ill client's access to mental health services aligns with the advocacy role, ensuring the client's needs are met. B: Focusing on improving self-care knowledge is important but not necessarily advocating for the client's rights or needs. C: Explaining unit rules and ensuring comfort in the environment is more about patient education and safety than advocacy. D: Monitoring for medication side effects is crucial, but it does not specifically address advocating for the client's rights or needs.
Question 4 of 5
A client who has a 10 a.m. appointment at an outpatient psychiatric clinic arrives at noon, stating,"I was visiting with my mother." How should the nurse interpret the client's failure to arrive on time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client is a member of a cultural group that is present oriented. In some cultures, being present-oriented means focusing more on the current moment rather than adhering strictly to schedules or appointments. This cultural perspective values interpersonal relationships and may prioritize spending time with family over punctuality. In this scenario, the client's delay in arriving may be due to cultural norms rather than intentional disrespect or defiance. It is important for healthcare providers to be culturally competent and understanding of different cultural perspectives to provide effective care. Summary: B: The client being passive-aggressive is not supported by the information given. C: The client rejecting traditional medicine is not relevant to the situation described. D: There is no evidence to suggest that the client is defying authority by arriving late.
Question 5 of 5
A patient repeatedly stated, "I'm stupi" Which statement by that patient would show progress resulting from cognitive-behavioral therapy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it shows a shift in thinking from a global, negative self-view to a more specific acknowledgement of occasional mistakes. This demonstrates progress in cognitive restructuring, a key component of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Choice B reflects a pattern of negative thinking without self-reflection, while choice C indicates a fear of failure in trying new things. Choice D shows self-criticism without recognition of potential for improvement. Overall, choice A is the most indicative of cognitive-behavioral therapy progress by acknowledging specific instances of behavior rather than a global self-assessment.
