ATI N200 Mental Health Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A fifteen-year-old was referred to the adolescent mental health clinic after being arrested for prostitution. The client's parents reported that they have run away several times and are abusive towards them. The nurse should anticipate that the diagnosis will be:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Conduct Disorder. This diagnosis is appropriate based on the client's behavior of running away, engaging in prostitution, and being abusive towards parents, which are all indicative of conduct disorder. Conduct disorder involves a pattern of violating the basic rights of others and societal norms. Childhood depression (
A) typically presents with symptoms such as persistent sadness and loss of interest. Oppositional Defiant Disorder (
B) is characterized by defiance and hostility towards authority figures, not necessarily involving running away or engaging in illegal activities like prostitution. Autism Spectrum Disorder (
D) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction and communication, but it does not explain the client's behavior of running away or engaging in criminal activities.
Question 2 of 5
The spouse of a client who is diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder requests information from the nurse about support groups to help the family cope with the effects of the client's drinking on the family. Which statement by the spouse would suggest the teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The family can go to Al-Anon meetings for support. This answer is correct because Al-Anon is a support group specifically designed for family members and friends of individuals who have alcohol use disorder. Attending Al-Anon meetings can provide the spouse with the necessary tools and support to cope with the effects of the client's drinking on the family.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not address the specific needs of the family members. Option A focuses on the client attending AA meetings, while option B suggests waiting for the client to be ready to stop drinking before seeking support. Option D incorrectly states that support groups are only for the client, not the family.
In summary, the correct answer C is the most appropriate because it acknowledges the spouse's need for support and directs them to a group that specializes in helping family members of individuals with alcohol use disorder.
Question 3 of 5
A client diagnosed with bipolar disorder is experiencing a severe depressive episode. Which client behavior would alert the nurse to the highest priority intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the statement "There is no future when you feel so depressed" indicates hopelessness and suicidal ideation, posing a significant risk to the client's safety. This behavior requires immediate intervention to ensure the client's well-being.
Choice A is less urgent as lack of response may be due to depressive symptoms.
Choice B, refusing medication, can be addressed through therapeutic communication.
Choice C, arguing about religious beliefs, may indicate agitation but does not pose an immediate safety risk.
Question 4 of 5
A client is to receive a continuous Heparin infusion at 500 units per hour. Pharmacy supplies Heparin in a concentration of 25000 units per 250 mL of NSS. Calculate the rate at which the nurse should set the infusion pump.
Correct Answer: 5
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: 5. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver 5 mL/hr.
Rationale:
To calculate the rate, we use the formula: (Desired dose * Volume) / Concentration. In this case, (500 units/hr * 1 hr) / 25000 units = 0.02 mL/hr. Since the concentration is 25000 units per 250 mL, we need 0.02 mL/hr * 250 mL = 5 mL/hr. This is the correct rate at which the nurse should set the infusion pump.
Summary of Other
Choices:
A: Incorrect. This choice does not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
B-G: Irrelevant as they do not provide the necessary calculation steps to determine the correct infusion rate.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing care for a client who is malnourished and appears exhausted. What data would cause the nurse to suspect the client is a victim of human trafficking?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the client showing signs of physical abuse and being accompanied by a controlling individual are red flags for human trafficking. Physical abuse is a common tactic used by traffickers to control their victims. The presence of a controlling individual could indicate that the client is being coerced or manipulated. This situation aligns with the typical characteristics of human trafficking where victims are often isolated, controlled, and abused. The other choices do not directly suggest human trafficking.
Choice A could indicate a potential red flag, but alone it is not enough to suspect human trafficking.
Choice B could be due to various reasons unrelated to human trafficking.
Choice D could suggest other issues such as memory problems or mental health issues.
