Question 3 of 5
In the movie, Marcus, a 17-year-old teenager at the group home demonstrates that he is experiencing a maturational crisis. Which of the following best describes a maturational crisis in mental health for a teen?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A condition caused by genetic factors that affects mental health stability describes a genetic predisposition to mental health issues, not a maturational crisis. A severe mental illness that requires long-term psychiatric treatment is not necessarily temporary or related to a maturational crisis. A temporary state of emotional turmoil and confusion that arises during a predictable event and/or significant life transitions accurately describes a maturational crisis, which occurs during predictable life transitions such as adolescence. A chronic condition characterized by persistent mental health issues throughout the lifespan is not temporary and does not align with a maturational crisis.
Question 4 of 5
During a psychosocial assessment, the nurse documents a patient's orientation as oriented X3. This means:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oriented to time, place and personal hygiene is incorrect; X3 doesn’t include hygiene. Alert and oriented to person, place and time is correct; 'oriented X3' means awareness of person, place, and time. Anxious, alert and oriented to place doesn’t fully define X3. Awake and oriented to place is incomplete for X3.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following would indicate a duty to warn a third party?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: I’m going to get them before they get to me' is vague and requires assessment but not an immediate duty to warn. 'A client says he plans to blow up the government.' is serious but not specific to a third party, requiring authority notification. 'If I can’t have my girlfriend back, then no one can have her.' is a direct threat to a specific person, triggering a duty to warn. 'I hate all police' shows hostility but not a specific threat.
