Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing mental health education to a group of high school students. Which of the following information about screening for mental illness should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

2. Laboratory tests are not typically used for diagnosing mental illnesses; instead, screenings rely on self-report questionnaires, observations, and interviews.
3. Screening tools assess symptoms, behaviors, and risk factors associated with mental health conditions.
4. Lack of specific biomarkers for many mental illnesses makes laboratory testing ineffective for diagnosis.
5. Early detection and intervention rely on accurate screening methods tailored to mental health conditions.

Summary:
A: Incorrect - Physical examinations focus on physical health, not mental health.
C: Incorrect - Risk factors for mental illness are known and contribute to screening tools.
D: Incorrect - Mental illnesses are not typically detected through blood tests, as they are primarily diagnosed through behavioral and psychological assessments.
