RN HESI Mental Health 2023 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A male client tells the nurse that he has an IQ of 400+ and is a genius and an inventor. He also reports that he is married to a female movie star and thinks that his brother wants a sexual relationship with her. Which is the priority nursing problem for admission to the psychiatric unit?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The client's delusions (e.g., being married to a movie star, brother's intentions) indicate disturbed sensory perception, suggestive of psychosis, which is the priority. Ineffective sexual patterns are not directly indicated. Family coping may be secondary. Impaired environmental interpretation is too broad.
