ATI Mental Health Exam II Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a client newly admitted with major depressive disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Major depressive disorder can significantly impact a person's ability to carry out activities of daily living, including grooming and self-care. Assessing the client's need for assistance with grooming is essential to ensure their basic needs are met and to promote their physical well-being.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is prescribed tetracycline 2 grams daily PO in four divided doses every 6 hr. Available is tetracycline 250 mg capsules. How many capsules should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale:
To calculate the number of capsules per dose:
Total daily dose = 2 grams = 2000 mg. Divided into 4 doses = 2000 mg / 4 = 500 mg per dose. Each capsule is 250 mg, so 500 mg / 250 mg/capsule = 2 capsules per dose.

Question 3 of 5

A client commits suicide in an acute mental health facility. Which of the following is the priority intervention for staff following this incident?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Conducting a thorough assessment and review of the client's behavior, including any cues or warning signs that may have indicated suicidal ideation, can help identify gaps in care and improve risk assessment and management for future clients.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has major depressive disorder and was prescribed citalopram 2 weeks ago with a planned dosage increase 1 week ago. The client reports having an improved appetite, but still feels very depressed and is still having trouble sleeping. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: This is an appropriate response. Antidepressants, including citalopram, can take several weeks to show their full therapeutic effects. It's common for some symptoms to improve before others. Educating the client about the delayed onset of action is important to manage their expectations.

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale:
To calculate: 20 mg (desired dose) ÷ 10 mg (strength of each tablet) = 2 tablets.
