Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is creating a plan of care for a client who has schizophrenia and is experiencing command hallucinations. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Low stimuli reduce hallucination intensity and agitation. Eye contact builds trust, socialization may overwhelm, and touch could be misinterpreted.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has conduct disorder and is in physical restraints after becoming physically aggressive toward other clients on the unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring vital signs every 15 minutes ensures safety during restraints. Fixed duration isn’t standard, renewal is periodic, evaluation is secondary.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is performing screening assessments for active older adult clients at a community clinic. Which of the following tests should the nurse include in the screening?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Geriatric Depression Scale screens for depression, common in older adults, enhancing well-being. PAINAD is for dementia, CAGE for alcohol abuse, and Denver II for children, not broadly applicable here.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has narcissistic personality disorder. Which of the following treatments should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Schema-focused therapy targets NPD’s deep patterns. Assertiveness doesn’t address core, response prevention is for OCD, CBT is less specific.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is receiving a change-of-shift report about a group of assigned clients at a mental health facility. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess for risks related to sensory impairments?
