Correct Answer: A

Rationale: According to various studies, white adolescent males who have expressed intentions to die are at the highest risk for suicide. This group has been found to have higher suicide rates compared to other racial and age groups. While African American males who have expressed intentions to die are also at risk for suicide, the rates are not as high as those for white adolescent males. Asian adolescent males who have expressed intentions to die also face a risk of suicide, but again, the rates are not as high as those for white adolescent males. Hispanic American males who have expressed intentions to die are at risk for suicide, but the rates are not as high as those for white adolescent males.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Actively seeking is a stage of chemical dependency where the individual actively seeks out the substance. In this scenario, the teenager is not just seeking heroin, but is using it to prevent withdrawal symptoms, which suggests a more advanced stage of dependency. Experimentation is the initial stage of chemical dependency where the individual first tries the substance. However, the teenager in this scenario is past the experimentation stage as she is using heroin regularly to prevent withdrawal symptoms. Burnout is a stage of chemical dependency characterized by physical and mental exhaustion due to prolonged substance use. While the teenager may be experiencing burnout, the scenario specifically mentions her use of heroin to prevent withdrawal symptoms, which is more indicative of the preoccupation stage. Preoccupation is a stage of chemical dependency where the individual is consumed by thoughts of the substance and uses it to prevent withdrawal symptoms. The teenager's belief that she cannot cope without heroin and her use of it to prevent withdrawal symptoms align with this stage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Failure to explore a client's point of view is a nontherapeutic communication technique, but it's not the most fitting description for the scenario. The nurse's yawning and frequent glancing at the watch doesn't necessarily indicate a lack of exploration of the clients' perspectives. Eliciting vague descriptions can be a nontherapeutic communication technique, but it doesn't seem to apply in this context. The nurse's actions don't suggest that they are eliciting vague descriptions from the clients. Failure to listen is the most appropriate answer. The nurse's yawning and frequent checking of the watch during therapy time could indicate a lack of attention or interest in what the clients are saying, which can be perceived as failing to listen. Failure to probe can be a nontherapeutic communication technique, but it doesn't seem to apply in this context. The nurse's actions don't suggest that they are failing to probe or ask further questions.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Diagnostic data is a crucial part of a mental health admission assessment. This includes information about the patient's current and past mental health issues, as well as any relevant medical conditions. While orientation (awareness of time, place, and person) is often assessed during a mental health admission assessment, it is not the primary component of the assessment. Intelligence testing is not typically included in a mental health admission assessment. The focus of the assessment is on the patient's mental health needs, not their intellectual abilities. While a diagnosis may be determined as a result of a mental health admission assessment, the diagnosis itself is not included in the assessment. The assessment is used to gather the information needed to make a diagnosis.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: While sadness can be a symptom of many mental health issues in children, it is not typically considered a warning sign of violence. Use of alcohol is a warning sign of violence in children. Substance abuse can impair judgment, increase impulsivity, and lead to aggressive behavior. Relationship difficulties can be a symptom of many mental health issues in children, but they are not typically considered a warning sign of violence. Though thought disorders can lead to behavioral problems, they are not directly associated with violence in children.
