Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is screening children and adolescents for exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACES). Which of the following clients is considered to have experienced an ACE?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. A child with a parent in prison is considered to have experienced an adverse childhood experience (ACE) due to the significant impact of parental incarceration on a child's well-being, emotional health, and development. This situation can lead to feelings of abandonment, shame, stigma, and disruption in family dynamics.
Choices A, C, and D do not directly indicate exposure to ACEs as they involve normal childhood experiences or academic challenges that are not inherently traumatic.
Therefore, option B is the most appropriate response for identifying a child who has experienced an ACE.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an outpatient facility is teaching a client about the development of mental illness. Which of the following statements by the nurse describes the role of a vulnerability gene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: It is a gene variant that increases the risk for the development of a specific mental illness. Vulnerability genes are genetic variations that predispose individuals to a higher risk of developing a particular mental illness. This statement accurately describes the role of vulnerability genes in mental illness development.
Choice B is incorrect because vulnerability genes do not solely cause mental illness but increase susceptibility.
Choice C is incorrect as resilience genes would be responsible for an individual's ability to cope with stress, not vulnerability genes.
Choice D is incorrect as recovery from mental illness is influenced by various factors, not solely vulnerability genes.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing education to a group of staff members about schizophrenia. Which of the following age groups should the nurse include as the age when schizophrenia is typically diagnosed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Young adulthood. Schizophrenia is typically diagnosed in late teens to early 30s. This is when symptoms commonly appear and are more identifiable due to the onset of stressors like academic or occupational demands. School-age and preschooler choices are too early for schizophrenia onset. Older adulthood is less likely for new diagnoses.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse at a primary care clinic is assessing a client for manifestations of depression. Which of the following client statements should the nurse identify as being consistent with depression?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I can't get my mind to stop racing at night." This statement is consistent with symptoms of depression such as rumination, insomnia, and racing thoughts. In depression, individuals often experience difficulty controlling their thoughts, leading to insomnia and excessive worrying.
Choices A, C, D, and the remaining options do not align with typical symptoms of depression, as they describe restlessness, physical health issues, increased alertness, and lack of information respectively.
