Question 1 of 5
A college student experienced a sexual assault when out on a date. After several weeks of crisis intervention therapy, which statement by the client would indicate to the nurse that the student is making progress?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This statement demonstrates progress and indicates that the client is beginning to take responsibility off themselves for the sexual assault. Acknowledging that the assault was not their fault is a crucial step in healing from trauma. It shows an acceptance of reality and a shift away from self-blame or feelings of guilt.
Question 2 of 5
During assessment, the nurse is most likely to find the attitude of the depressed client toward his illness to be:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This attitude suggests a sense of self-blame or low self-worth commonly seen in individuals with depression. They may feel undeserving of happiness or believe that their suffering is justified. This attitude can hinder the individual's willingness to seek help or engage in treatment, as they may believe that they do not deserve support or that their situation is hopeless.
Question 3 of 5
An individual with a history of antisocial personality disorder was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and causing a serious car accident. Which comment on this behavior would be expected?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: This response is consistent with the characteristics of antisocial personality disorder, which include a lack of remorse, as well as a tendency to rationalize behavior or blame others. Individuals with this disorder often fail to accept responsibility for their actions and may exhibit behaviors that are impulsive, reckless, and violate the rights of others without feeling guilty.

A client has just been admitted to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Which intervention will the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: After ECT, the client may be disoriented, confused, or drowsy due to the effects of anesthesia and the procedure itself. Orienting the client to their surroundings and situation helps promote their safety and comfort. Monitoring vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, is crucial to assess the client's immediate post-procedural status and detect any complications.
