ATI Mental Health Exam 3 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client with Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) asks how her condition differs from premenstrual syndrome (PMS). What is the nurse's best response?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: PMDD is a more severe form of PMS that significantly interferes with daily functioning. This is the best response because PMDD is a more severe condition compared to PMS, characterized by debilitating physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that can interfere with daily activities. PMDD symptoms are more intense and disruptive than those of PMS, leading to significant impairment in functioning.


Choice A is incorrect because not all cases of PMDD require hormonal therapy, and PMS can also benefit from hormonal interventions.
Choice B is incorrect as PMDD is known for both physical and emotional symptoms, not just physical symptoms.
Choice C is incorrect because PMDD symptoms may persist even after menstruation begins and can last throughout the menstrual cycle.
