Question 1 See full question

The nurse's primary commitment is to the health, safety, and welfare of people placed in
his or her care, as well as to the public. This commitment is provided through evidence-
based care. What does the term evidence-based care mean?
You Selected:

• Care that integrates the best available evidence from research with clinical
expertise

Correct response:

• Care that integrates the best available evidence from research with clinical
expertise

Explanation:

Evidence-based care involves the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current
best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual clients. It is about
integrating the best available evidence from research with clinical expertise to enhance
decision making.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, pp. 3-4.
Question 2 See full question

Why is the document Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General (1999)
significant?
You Selected:

• Because it states clearly that there are effective treatments for mental illness

Correct response:

• Because it states clearly that there are effective treatments for mental illness

Explanation:

Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General stated that mental health is
fundamental to and necessary for a healthy life; mental disorders are real health
conditions with enormous consequences for individuals, families, communities, and the
nation. Effective treatments for mental disorders are available, and those with mental
disorders or symptoms should seek treatment.

Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, p. 9.
Question 3 See full question

Which of the following is inconsistent with an evidence-based approach?


You Selected:

• Nurse-centered decision making

Correct response:

• Nurse-centered decision making

Explanation:

In an evidence-based approach, clinical questions are defined, evidence is discovered


and analyzed, the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in
collaboration with the client, and outcomes are evaluated. This approach requires using
competent literature search skills, followed by careful reading and critiquing of the
studies.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, p. 4.
Question 4 See full question

Which accurately reflects characteristic life for people living with mental illness in early
psychiatric institutions?
You Selected:

• Deplorable living conditions

Correct response:

• Deplorable living conditions

Explanation:

Despite the good intentions of early reformers, the approach inside the institution was
one of custodial care and practical management, and treatment rarely occurred.
Although a medical superintendent usually directed an institution, overcrowded wards
and few resources created rowdy, dangerous, and unbearable situations.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, p. 7.
Question 5 See full question

During the mid-20th century, the focus of treatment centered on treating


neurotransmitter dysfunction in the brain. As a result hospital stays were shortened due
to the introduction of which?
You Selected:

• Psychopharmacology

Correct response:

• Psychopharmacology

Explanation:

Support for the biologic approaches received an important boost as successful


symptom management with psychopharmacologic agents became a more widespread
possibility in the early 1950s. Psychopharmacology revolutionized the treatment of
mental illness and led to an increased number of clients discharged into the community,
and the eventual focus on the brain became a key to understanding psychiatric
disorders.

Question 6 See full question

The creation of asylums during the 1800s was meant to:


You Selected:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill.

Correct response:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill.

Explanation:

The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for
the mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders or to
punish mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not
created to remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.

Question 7 See full question

Which intervention is focused on a goal included in Healthy People 2020 Mental Health
objectives?
You Selected:

• Including a depression screening in the assessment interview conducted by the


staff of a group of family practitioners

Correct response:

• Including a depression screening in the assessment interview conducted by the


staff of a group of family practitioners

Explanation:

One of the Healthy People 2020 Mental Health objectives is to increase depression
screening by primary care providers. While the remaining options may present positive
interventions, none are directly associated with Healthy People 2020 Mental Health
objectives.
Reference:
Boyd, M.A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, p. 10.
Question 8 See full question

A client demonstrates sexually inappropriate behavior toward a student nurse. What is


an effective way for the student to respond while protecting and respecting the client?
You Selected:

• Ignore the behavior at the time it occurs but report it to staff before leaving
clinicals for the day.

Correct response:

• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be
reenforced with the client.

Explanation:

Some clients have difficulty recognizing or maintaining interpersonal boundaries. When


a client seeks contact of any type outside the nurse–client relationship, it is important for
the student (with the assistance of the instructor or staff) to clarify the boundaries of the
professional relationship. The behavior should not be ignored or minimized but rather
addressed in a professional, matter-of-fact manner so that the client understands the
limits being placed on such behaviors.
Question 9 See full question

If a client states, "I carry this lucky rabbit's foot for luck, my dad did too, and it really
works," which statement by the nurse reflects respect for the client's belief?
You Selected:

• "I can accept that you feel it is lucky, so let's get to our activities for the day."

Correct response:

• "I can accept that you feel it is lucky, so let's get to our activities for the day."

Explanation:

At times, a nurse’s values and beliefs will conflict with those of the client or with the
client’s behavior. The nurse must learn to accept these differences among people and
view each client as a worthwhile person regardless of that client’s opinions and lifestyle.
The nurse does not need to share the client’s views and behavior; the nurse merely
needs to accept them as different from the nurse's own and not let them interfere with
care.
Question 10 See full question

What organization developed and maintains standards of practice that are used to
determine safe quality care and that can be used legally if incorporated into the state
practice act or nurse’s rules and regulations that guide the nursing profession?
You Selected:

• USDHHS (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services)

Correct response:

• ANA (American Nurses Association)

Explanation:

The APNA is based off of the ANA standards and applies to psychiatric nurses,
whereas the ANA standards apply to all nurses in all disciplines. The DSM-5 sets
nomenclature and language for all mental health professionals to use along with
defining symptoms. The USDHHA’s objectives were used to develop Healthy People
2010 and now 2020, to aid in supporting community-based interventions, to decrease
suicide and homelessness, and to increase employment of those with mental illness.

Question 2 See full question

The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to ...
You Selected:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals

Correct response:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals

Explanation:

The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act intimated the movement toward
treating those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation
resulted in the shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care
based in the community. Choices B, C, and D were not purposes of the 1963
Community Mental Health Centers Act.

Question 3 See full question

Which law prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions?
You Selected:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Correct response:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Explanation:

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed, which provided
people with access to affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs. This
law also prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions. The National Mental Health Act of 1946 created a six-member National
Mental Health Advisory Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. In
1999, Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General summarized the most current
evidence for the treatment of people with mental illnesses. The Mental Retardation
Facilities and Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 shifted
authority for mental health programming to the federal government.

Question 4 See full question

When reviewing the historical views about mental illness, which belief best reflected the
thoughts about mental illness during the later medieval era (1000–1300)?
You Selected:

• It was caused by sin or demonic possession.

Correct response:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.


Explanation:

In the later medieval era, contaminated environments were believed to cause mental
illness. In the early Christian period, sin or demonic possession was thought to cause
mental illness. Prehistoric healers practiced an ancient surgical technique of removing a
disk of bone from the skull to let out evil spirits. The causation of a chemical imbalance
was not a belief held in the medieval era.

Question 5 See full question

A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
because she is so sad. Which is the nurse's best response?
You Selected:

• "You are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
experienced."

Correct response:

• "You are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
experienced."

Explanation:

Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mental illness.
Downplaying the client's grief does not appropriately address the the client's concerns.
The quality of the relationship does not determine the presence of absence of mental
illness.

nursing became a requirement in nursing education in 1950 by whom?
You Selected:

• National League of Nursing

Correct response:
• National League of Nursing

Explanation:

It was not until 1950 that the National League for Nursing, which accredits nursing

American Nurses Association (ANA) is an organization that nurses belong to as a
professional organization. Some state boards of nursing follow the requirements set by
National League of Nursing (NLN). Nurse Practice Acts contains guidelines that can
reflect National League of Nursing and American Nurses Association standards.
Question 7 See full question

What action should a nurse take when unintentionally making an inappropriate or


awkward statement to a client?
You Selected:

• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Correct response:

• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Explanation:

No one magic phrase can solve a client's problems; likewise, no single statement can
significantly worsen them. Listening carefully, showing genuine interest, and caring
about the client are extremely important. A nurse who possesses these elements but
says something that sounds out of place can simply restate it by saying,"That didn't
come out right. What I meant was…” Pretending that the nurse did not say it, stating
that it was a joke, and ignoring the error are not likely to help the nurse build and
maintain credibility with the client.

Question 8 See full question

A client with schizophrenia has been noncompliant with medications. The client requires
frequent admissions to the psychiatric unit for acute psychotic episodes. What is this
process called?
You Selected:

• Revolving door

Correct response:
• Revolving door

Explanation:

The revolving door effect is a result of deinstitutionalization; clients are admitted more
frequently for shorter stays. Boarding is when clients are kept in the emergency
department until the crisis resolves or an inpatient bed is found. Admissions are usually
not escalated but are recurrent.
Question 9 See full question

When reviewing evidence-based practice, which characteristic would the nurse most
likely identify as important? Select all that apply.
You Selected:

• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Correct response:

• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Explanation:

Evidence-based practice is a “problem-solving approach to clinical decision making that


involves the conscientious use of the best available evidence (including a systematic
search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a clinical
question) with ones’ own clinical expertise and patient values and preferences to
improve outcomes for individuals, groups, communities, and systems. In an evidence-
based approach, clinical questions are defined; evidence is discovered and analyzed;
the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in collaboration with the
patient; and outcomes are evaluated.

Question 10 See full question

When describing the historical aspects of psychiatric-mental health care, the nurse
addresses the changes in thought about the cause of mental illness from 0 to 1000 CE.
Which cause would the nurse most likely identify as the belief during this period?
You Selected:

• Demonic control
Correct response:

• Demonic control

Explanation:

During early Christian times (1-1000), primitive beliefs and superstitions were strong.
During this time, sin or demonic possession, not physical illness and personal failure,
was thought to cause mental disorders. Contaminated environments were a common
causative belief during the medieval era (1000-1300 AD).

Until the onset of the Renaissance, the general population held which belief regarding
the presence of sickness?
You Selected:

• It was punishment for sins and wrongdoing.

Correct response:

• It was punishment for sins and wrongdoing.

Explanation:

People of ancient times believed that sickness was a punishment for sins and
wrongdoing. It was not a weakness of physical strength, based on social class, or due
to inadequate parenting.

Question 2 See full question

Which is a difference between counseling and psychotherapy?


You Selected:

• Psychotherapy is reserved for clients who have a documented history of failing to


respond to counseling.

Correct response:

• Generalist psychiatric nurses may perform counseling interventions, but psychotherapy


is an advanced practice role.

Explanation:

The psychiatric nurse uses counseling interventions, but psychotherapy requires


advanced certification according to the American Nurses Association. Psychotherapy is
not reserved solely for those who have not responded to counseling. Transference and
countertransference are significant obstacles in both modes, and neither intervention is
appropriate during acute psychotic episodes.

Question 4 See full question

Hydrotherapy, a primitive treatment, was used for what in the mentally ill population?
You Selected:

• Calming effect

Correct response:

• Calming effect

Explanation:

Hydrotherapy, or baths, was an established procedure in mental institutions. Warm


baths and, in some instances, ice-cold baths produced calming effects for clients with
mental disorders. Success of this treatment, however, was attributed to the restraint of
clients during the bath, and not the physiologic responses that hydrotherapy produced.
Hydrotherapy was not used for pain control, hypnosis, or electrical stimulation.

Question 7 See full question

Before developing a procedure, a nurse reviews all current research-based literature on


insertion of a nasogastric tube. What type of nursing will be practiced based on this
review?
You Selected:

• evidence-based nursing
Correct response:

• evidence-based nursing

Explanation:

Evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious


use of research-based information in making decisions about the delivery of care. EBNP
does not include institutional practice, authoritative nursing, or factual-based nursing.

The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to:
You Selected:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals.

Correct response:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals.

Explanation:

The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act initiated the movement toward treating
those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation resulted in the
shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care based in the
community. This Act did not focus on clients' rights, funding for inpatient treatment, or
humane care.

Question 9 See full question

Before the period of the enlightenment, treatment of the mentally ill included:
You Selected:

• placing the mentally ill on display for the public's amusement.

Correct response:

• placing the mentally ill on display for the public's amusement.


Explanation:

In 1775, visitors at St. Mary's of Bethlehem were charged a fee for viewing and
ridiculing the mentally ill, who were seen as animals, less than human. Custodial care
was not often provided as persons who were considered harmless were allowed to
wander in the countryside or live in rural communities, and more dangerous lunatics
were imprisoned, chained, and starved. In early Christian times, primitive beliefs and
superstitions were strong. The mentally ill were viewed as evil or possessed. Priests
performed exorcisms to rid evil spirits, and in the colonies, witch hunts were conducted
with offenders burned at the stake. It was not until the period of enlightenment when
persons who were mentally ill were offered asylum as a safe refuge or haven offering
protection at institutions.

Question 1 See full question

Which individual has experienced the consequences of deinstitutionalization?


You Selected:

• A man who was denied inpatient psychiatric treatment by his health maintenance
organization (HMO)

Correct response:

• A woman who was transferred from a psychiatric hospital to the community because of
the hospital's impending closure

Explanation:

The process of deinstitutionalization involves moving chronically mentally ill clients from
state psychiatric hospitals back to their homes or to community-supervised facilities.

Question 2 See full question

A nurse is reviewing information about various legislation that has affected psychiatric-
mental health care. When reading about the Hill-Burton Act, the nurse would most likely
find information about which type of federal support for health care?
You Selected:
• Mental health programming

Correct response:

• Hospital construction

Explanation:

The Hill-Burton Act (1946) provided substantial federal support for hospital construction,
which expanded the number of psychiatric units in general hospitals. The Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) aims to provide people with access to
affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs and prevent insurance
companies from excluding people because of preexisting conditions. The National
Mental Health Act (1946) created a six-member National Mental Health Advisory
Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. The Mental Retardation
Facilities and Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act shifted authority for
mental health programming to the federal government.

You Selected:

• State hospitals

Correct response:

• State hospitals

Explanation:

Dorothea Dix, a vigorous crusader for the humane treatment of clients with mental
illness, was responsible for much of the reform of the mental health care system in the
19th century. Her solution was state hospitals.

Question 5 See full question

The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly admitted
client. Which would the nurse identify as having a positive impact on the individual's
mental health?
You Selected:

• The ability to effectively manage stress

Correct response:

• The ability to effectively manage stress

Explanation:

Individual factors influencing mental health include coping or stress management


abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and
connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a healthy person
would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness could relate to
the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on an
individual's mental health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and striving to attain this is
likely to lead to frustration and isolation.

Question 6 See full question

Which is true regarding mental health and mental illness?


You Selected:

• In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping,
positive self-concept, and emotional stability.

Correct response:

• In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping,
positive self-concept, and emotional stability.

Explanation:

Mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness evidenced by


satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-
concept, and emotional stability. Concepts of behavior that is acceptable and
unacceptable vary widely between cultures. Consequently, mental health or illness can
be difficult to discern. Persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but
the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute
to mental illness.

A psychiatric nurse is planning an educational program addressing primary prevention


strategies in the community. The nurse explores current research regarding which
health care need?
You Selected:

• Informing parents of the early signs of attention deficit disorder in children

Correct response:

• Assisting high school students to effectively manage stress

Explanation:
Nurses work to provide mental health prevention services to reduce risks to the mental
health of persons, families, and communities. Examples include primary prevention,
such as stress management education; secondary prevention, such as early
identification of potential mental health problems; and tertiary prevention, such as
monitoring and coordinating rehabilitation services for the mentally ill. Primary
prevention focuses on individuals who have not been diagnosed with mental health
disorders.
Question 8 See full question

What nursing action demonstrates the intended impact of the American Nurses
Association (ANA) standards of care on mental health nursing care?
You Selected:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Correct response:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Explanation:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) develops standards of care as authoritative


statements by professional organizations that describe the responsibilities for which
nurses are accountable, thus identifying the nurse's scope of practice. They are not
legally binding unless they are incorporated into the state nurse practice act or state
board rules and regulations. When legal problems or lawsuits arise, these professional
standards are used to determine safe and acceptable practice and to assess the quality
of care in the court of law. Neither identifying advanced level functions or safety
delegation principles are directly associated with the ANAs nursing standards.
Question 9 See full question

A client demonstrates sexually inappropriate behavior toward a student nurse. What is


an effective way for the student to respond while protecting and respecting the client?
You Selected:

• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be reenforced
with the client.

Correct response:

• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be reenforced
with the client.

Explanation:
Some clients have difficulty recognizing or maintaining interpersonal boundaries. When
a client seeks contact of any type outside the nurse–client relationship, it is important for
the student (with the assistance of the instructor or staff) to clarify the boundaries of the
professional relationship. The behavior should not be ignored or minimized but rather
addressed in a professional, matter-of-fact manner so that the client understands the
limits being placed on such behaviors.
Question 10 See full question

What organization developed and maintains standards of practice that are used to
determine safe quality care and that can be used legally if incorporated into the state
practice act or nurse’s rules and regulations that guide the nursing profession?
You Selected:

• ANA (American Nurses Association)

Correct response:

• ANA (American Nurses Association)

Explanation:

The APNA is based off of the ANA standards and applies to psychiatric nurses,
whereas the ANA standards apply to all nurses in all disciplines. The DSM-5 sets
nomenclature and language for all mental health professionals to use along with
defining symptoms. The USDHHA’s objectives were used to develop Healthy People
2010 and now 2020, to aid in supporting community-based interventions, to decrease
suicide and homelessness, and to increase employment of those with mental illness.

While reading a journal article about early mental health care, the nurse learns about
the creation of asylums during the 1800s. Which reason would the nurse most likely
identify as underlying their creation?
You Selected:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill

Correct response:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill

Explanation:

The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for
the mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders nor to
punish mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not
created to remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.

Question 2 See full question

Which of the following is inconsistent with an evidence-based approach?


You Selected:
• Nurse-centered decision making

Correct response:

• Nurse-centered decision making

Explanation:

In an evidence-based approach, clinical questions are defined, evidence is discovered


and analyzed, the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in
collaboration with the client, and outcomes are evaluated. This approach requires using
competent literature search skills, followed by careful reading and critiquing of the
studies.

When reviewing the historical views about mental illness, which belief best reflected the
thoughts about mental illness during the later medieval era (1000–1300)?
You Selected:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Correct response:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Explanation:

In the later medieval era, contaminated environments were believed to cause mental
illness. In the early Christian period, sin or demonic possession was thought to cause
mental illness. Prehistoric healers practiced an ancient surgical technique of removing a
disk of bone from the skull to let out evil spirits. The causation of a chemical imbalance
was not a belief held in the medieval era.

In the 1970s, intensive psychoanalysis was the treatment of choice for clients suffering
from severe mental illness in institutions.
You Selected:

• False

Correct response:

• False

Explanation:

Freudian ideology dominated psychiatry well into the 1970s. Intensive psychoanalysis,
aimed at repairing the trauma of the original psychological injury, was the treatment of
choice. Psychoanalysis was costly, time-consuming, and required lengthy training.
Thus, thousands of clients in state institutions with severe mental illnesses were
essentially ignored.

The nurse knows that mental health issues are constantly changing. Which is a
standard of professional performance to keep in current practice?
You Selected:

• Education

Correct response:
• Education

Explanation:

Education is a standard of professional performance. Other standards of professional


performance include the quality of practice, professional practice evaluation, collegiality,
collaboration, ethics, research, resource utilization, and leadership. Assessment,
planning, and implementation are components of the nursing process, not standards of
professional performance.

The newly licensed registered nurse has been hired at the local hospital in the geriatric-
psychiatry unit. Today is the nurse's first day of orientation to this facility. What would be
the nurse's priority action if a client becomes aggressive?
You Selected:

• Assist other staff on the unit to take down the client safely

Correct response:

• Maintain a safe distance from the client

Explanation:

As a newly licensed registered nurse on orientation the first day, the nurse has not been
trained to take down or assist in taking down an aggressive client. Serious injury can
occur. Maintaining a safe distance in this situation is the most prudent, until the nurse
has received the appropriate training. Since the nurse is new to this unit, the nurse is
not in a position to reinforce boundaries at this time, as the client may perceive the
nurse as an outsider and may appear as a threat, thus escalating the situation.
Therapeutic settings are for all clients, acceptable behaviors are reinforced, and
secluding or isolating the client can foster aggressive behavior.

A nurse is reviewing the contribution of Clifford Beers to psychiatric care. The nurse
would identify development of which aspect as being associated with Beers?
You Selected:

• Stress management techniques

Correct response:
• Prison clinics

Explanation:

In 1909, the National Mental Health Committee formed by Clifford Beers was
responsible for the development of child guidance clinics, prison clinics, and industrial
mental health approaches. Graduate level training programs for psychiatric-nurses,
stress reduction techniques and use of hydrotherapy are not associated with Beers.

Explanation:

During the colonial period (1700-1730), mental diseases began to be viewed as


treatable illnesses. During the later medieval period, Muslims built the first asylums.
During the Renaissance period, people with psychiatric symptoms who presented a
threat to society were apprehended and locked up. In the early Christian and early
medieval periods, people with psychiatric symptoms were incarcerated in dungeons,
beaten, and starved.

Question 5 See full question

During which period of the premoral treatment era was the first public asylum built?
You Selected:

• Colonial
Correct response:

• Colonial

Explanation:

During the Colonial period, in 1773, the first public, free-standing asylum at
Williamsburg, Virginia, was built. During the later medieval period, Muslims built the first
asylums. During the Renaissance period, people with psychiatric symptoms who
presented a threat to society were apprehended and locked up. In the early Christian
and early medieval periods, those with psychiatric symptoms were incarcerated in
dungeons, beaten, and starved.

Question 6 See full question

Which is a clinical activity of only the advanced practice registered nurse?


You Selected:

• Psychotherapy

Correct response:

• Psychotherapy

Explanation:

Clinical activities of the advanced practice registered nurse include psychotherapy,


community interventions, and clinical supervision. Milieu therapy, crisis intervention, and
triage are clinical activities of the psychiatric-mental health registered nurse.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,

Ethics, Standards, and Nursing Frameworks, p. 54 Box 6-4.
Question 7 See full question

What action should a nurse take when unintentionally making an inappropriate or


awkward statement to a client?
You Selected:

• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Correct response:
• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Explanation:

No one magic phrase can solve a client's problems; likewise, no single statement can
significantly worsen them. Listening carefully, showing genuine interest, and caring
about the client are extremely important. A nurse who possesses these elements but
says something that sounds out of place can simply restate it by saying,"That didn't
come out right. What I meant was…” Pretending that the nurse did not say it, stating
that it was a joke, and ignoring the error are not likely to help the nurse build and
maintain credibility with the client.

Question 8 See full question

Which client statement demonstrates the most positive aspect of treating clients with
mental illness in community-based care?
You Selected:

• "This program will help me have fewer hospitalizations."

Correct response:

• "I can live in my own home and still see a therapist regularly."

Explanation:

While all of the options present true statements, the most positive benefit of a
community-based mental health program is that it provides the client the ability to stay
in a familiar environment and still have access to the required mental health care. The
remaining options address issues of personal not mental health issues that are
important to the client.

Question 9 See full question

When reviewing evidence-based practice, which characteristic would the nurse most
likely identify as important? Select all that apply.
You Selected:

• It applies research findings practically..


• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Correct response:

• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Explanation:

Evidence-based practice is a “problem-solving approach to clinical decision making that


involves the conscientious use of the best available evidence (including a systematic
search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a clinical
question) with ones’ own clinical expertise and patient values and preferences to
improve outcomes for individuals, groups, communities, and systems. In an evidence-
based approach, clinical questions are defined; evidence is discovered and analyzed;
the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in collaboration with the
patient; and outcomes are evaluated.

Question 10 See full question

When describing the historical aspects of psychiatric-mental health care, the nurse
addresses the changes in thought about the cause of mental illness from 0 to 1000 CE.
Which cause would the nurse most likely identify as the belief during this period?
You Selected:

• Demonic control

Correct response:

• Demonic control

Explanation:

During early Christian times (1-1000), primitive beliefs and superstitions were strong.
During this time, sin or demonic possession, not physical illness and personal failure,
was thought to cause mental disorders. Contaminated environments were a common
causative belief during the medieval era (1000-1300 AD).

Question 1 See full question

Which individual has experienced the consequences of deinstitutionalization?


You Selected:

• A woman who was transferred from a psychiatric hospital to the community because of
the hospital's impending closure

Correct response:

• A woman who was transferred from a psychiatric hospital to the community because of
the hospital's impending closure

Explanation:

The process of deinstitutionalization involves moving chronically mentally ill clients from
state psychiatric hospitals back to their homes or to community-supervised facilities.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Foundations of Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing, p. 9
Question 2 See full question

During the moral treatment period, clients were routinely placed into which
environment?
You Selected:

• Asylums

Correct response:

• Asylums

Explanation:

In the moral treatment period (1790–1900), moral treatment and the use of kindness,
compassion, and a pleasant environment was adopted. Clients were routinely removed
from their communities and placed in asylums, which was thought to be best for their
safety and comfort. Community mental health centers, by and large, ignored the legions
of people with serious mental illnesses and instead focused on the treatment of those
with alcoholism and drug addiction. Clients were not placed in psychosocial
rehabilitation centers or group homes during the moral treatment period.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, p. 4.
Question 3 See full question

Which was the initial focus of community mental health centers (CMHCs)?
You Selected:

• Alcoholism and addiction

Correct response:

• Alcoholism and addiction

Explanation:

The CMHCs, by and large, ignored the legions of people with serious mental illnesses
and instead focused on the treatment of people with alcoholism and drug addiction.
Individual psychotherapy, the primary treatment offered in most centers, was insufficient
for those who needed other types of treatment, housing, and vocational opportunities.
Social-recreational services and group therapy were not the initial focuses of CMHCs.

Question 4 See full question

The application of psychiatric mental health nursing theory to promote holistic client
care in the therapeutic relationship is grounded in the work of which historical figure?
You Selected:

• Peplau

Correct response:

• Peplau

Explanation:

In 1952, Peplau published the landmark work, Interpersonal Relations in Nursing. It


introduced psychiatric and mental health nursing practice to the concepts of
interpersonal relations and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. The nurse–
client relationship supported a holistic perspective on client care.

Question 5 See full question

Hydrotherapy, a primitive treatment, was used for what in the mentally ill population?
You Selected:

• Calming effect

Correct response:

• Calming effect

Explanation:

Hydrotherapy, or baths, was an established procedure in mental institutions. Warm


baths and, in some instances, ice-cold baths produced calming effects for clients with
mental disorders. Success of this treatment, however, was attributed to the restraint of
clients during the bath, and not the physiologic responses that hydrotherapy produced.
Hydrotherapy was not used for pain control, hypnosis, or electrical stimulation.

Question 6 See full question

During which stage of Freud’s developmental model does a toddler develop a sense of
autonomy by withholding?
You Selected:

• Anal

Correct response:

• Anal

Explanation:

According to Freud, a toddler develops a sense of autonomy through withholding in the


anal stage of development. Infants pass through the oral stage, experiencing the world
through symbolic oral ingestion. In the genital stage a beginning sense of sexuality
emerges within the framework of the Oedipal relationship.

Question 7 See full question

Which sets professional standards of care?


You Selected:

• Professional nursing organizations

Correct response:

• Professional nursing organizations

Explanation:

States and provinces grant the legal authority to practice nursing, but professional
nursing organizations set standards of care and professional nursing activities.

Question 8 See full question

The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to:
You Selected:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals.

Correct response:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals.

Explanation:

The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act initiated the movement toward treating
those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation resulted in the
shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care based in the
community. This Act did not focus on clients' rights, funding for inpatient treatment, or
humane care.

Question 9 See full question

A psychiatric nurse is planning an educational program addressing primary prevention


strategies in the community. The nurse explores current research regarding which
health care need?
You Selected:

• Assisting high school students to effectively manage stress

Correct response:

• Assisting high school students to effectively manage stress

Explanation:

Nurses work to provide mental health prevention services to reduce risks to the mental
health of persons, families, and communities. Examples include primary prevention,
such as stress management education; secondary prevention, such as early
identification of potential mental health problems; and tertiary prevention, such as
monitoring and coordinating rehabilitation services for the mentally ill. Primary
prevention focuses on individuals who have not been diagnosed with mental health
disorders.

Which activity is a function solely of the advanced practice psychiatric–mental health


nurse?
You Selected:

• Conducting individual psychotherapy

Correct response:

• Conducting individual psychotherapy

Explanation:

The advanced practice psychiatric–mental health nurse may provide psychotherapy


(individual, group, family). Examples include all common forms of brief or long-term
therapy. The therapist role that the APRN-PMH assumes is formal and structured and
often involves contracts (verbal, written, or both) with clients.
Question 2 See full question

Deinstitutionalization has resulted in which of the following?


You Selected:

• A revolving door of repetitive hospital admission

Correct response:

• A revolving door of repetitive hospital admission

Explanation:
Deinstitutionalization has resulted in a revolving door of repetitive hospital admission. It
has decreased community resources, with less funding, and it has made it more difficult
for mental health clients to achieve independence.

Question 4 See full question

Which is accurate regarding institutionalization? Select all that apply.


You Selected:

• Clients had little hope of re-entering society


• Clients suffered physical abuse
• Clients were socially isolated

Correct response:

• Clients were socially isolated


• Clients had little hope of re-entering society
• Clients suffered physical abuse

Explanation:
Institutionalization produced clients who were socially isolated. Few trained
professionals could care for the clients, and outcomes were consistently negative. The
clients had little hope of re-entering society, and they suffered adverse physical and
psychological effects.

Question 5 See full question

A significant change in the treatment of people with mental illness occurred in the 1950s
when:
You Selected:

• psychotropic drugs became available for use.

Correct response:

• psychotropic drugs became available for use.

Explanation:

The development of psychotropic drugs, or drugs used to treat mental illness, began in
the 1950s. Community support, client rights, and commitment procedures were
addressed more directly in later decades.

Question 6 See full question

One of the unforeseen effects of the movement toward community mental health
services is ...
You Selected:

• an increased number of admissions to available hospital services.

Correct response:

• an increased number of admissions to available hospital services.

Explanation:

Although people with severe and persistent mental illness have shorter hospital stays,
they are admitted to hospitals more frequently. Although deinstitutionalization reduced
the number of public hospital beds by 80%, the number of admissions to those beds
correspondingly increased by 90%. The number of individuals with mental illness did not
change.

Question 7 See full question

A client has been started on antidepressants. Which interdisciplinary team member


is most responsible for monitoring effectiveness and side effects of this new
medication?
You Selected:

• Psychiatric nurse

Correct response:

• Psychiatric nurse

Explanation:

The nurse is also an essential team member in evaluating the effectiveness of medical
treatment, particularly medications. The pharmacist has a working knowledge of
medications but has limited contact with the patient. The primary function of the
psychiatrist is diagnosis of mental disorders and prescription of medical treatments. The
clinical psychologist practices therapy.

Question 8 See full question

A nurse documents that a client has successfully acquired a job performing janitorial
services at a local manufacturing company. The goal of which level of prevention has
been achieved?
You Selected:

• Tertiary prevention

Correct response:

• Tertiary prevention
Explanation:

Examples of prevention services include primary prevention, such as stress


management education; secondary prevention, such as early identification of potential
mental health problems; and tertiary prevention, such as monitoring and coordinating
rehabilitation services for the mentally ill. Obtaining employment is a key aspect of
rehabilitation and is consequently an example of tertiary prevention. Community
prevention is not a recognized category of prevention.
Question 9 See full question

What nursing action demonstrates the intended impact of the American Nurses
Association (ANA) standards of care on mental health nursing care?
You Selected:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Correct response:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Explanation:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) develops standards of care as authoritative


statements by professional organizations that describe the responsibilities for which
nurses are accountable, thus identifying the nurse's scope of practice. They are not
legally binding unless they are incorporated into the state nurse practice act or state
board rules and regulations. When legal problems or lawsuits arise, these professional
standards are used to determine safe and acceptable practice and to assess the quality
of care in the court of law. Neither identifying advanced level functions or safety
delegation principles are directly associated with the ANAs nursing standards.
Question 10 See full question

The newly licensed registered nurse has been hired at the local hospital in the geriatric-
psychiatry unit. Today is the nurse's first day of orientation to this facility. What would be
the nurse's priority action if a client becomes aggressive?
You Selected:

• Maintain a safe distance from the client

Correct response:

• Maintain a safe distance from the client

Explanation:
As a newly licensed registered nurse on orientation the first day, the nurse has not been
trained to take down or assist in taking down an aggressive client. Serious injury can
occur. Maintaining a safe distance in this situation is the most prudent, until the nurse
has received the appropriate training. Since the nurse is new to this unit, the nurse is
not in a position to reinforce boundaries at this time, as the client may perceive the
nurse as an outsider and may appear as a threat, thus escalating the situation.
Therapeutic settings are for all clients, acceptable behaviors are reinforced, and
secluding or isolating the client can foster aggressive behavior.

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Correct response:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Explanation:

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed, which provided
people with access to affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs. This
law also prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions. The National Mental Health Act of 1946 created a six-member National
Mental Health Advisory Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. In
1999, Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General summarized the most current
evidence for the treatment of people with mental illnesses. The Mental Retardation

Health Advisory Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. The Report of
the Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health of 2000 highlights
consensus recommendations for identifying, recognizing, and referring children to
services; increasing access to services for families; and using evidence for evaluating
treatment services, systems of care, and financing. The Mental Retardation Facilities

The DSM-5 has three purposes: (1) to provide a standardized nomenclature and
language for all mental health professionals; (2) to present defining characteristics or
symptoms that differentiate specific diagnoses; and (3) to assist in identifying the
underlying causes of disorders. The DSM-5 was not designed to provide the practitioner
with standards of care for all clients nor to provide standards for hospital and community
based institutions.

The supporters of the 1963 legislation believed the exact opposite of what Dorothea Dix
believed during the previous century. That is, instead of viewing an institution as a
peaceful asylum, institutionalization was viewed as contributing to illness.
Institutionalization was not viewed as the least restrictive environment or as a
therapeutic environment.

Question 2 See full question

When reviewing the historical views about mental illness, which belief best reflected the
thoughts about mental illness during the later medieval era (1000–1300)?
You Selected:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Correct response:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Explanation:

In the later medieval era, contaminated environments were believed to cause mental
illness. In the early Christian period, sin or demonic possession was thought to cause
mental illness. Prehistoric healers practiced an ancient surgical technique of removing a
disk of bone from the skull to let out evil spirits. The causation of a chemical imbalance
was not a belief held in the medieval era.

During which period of the premoral treatment era did mental diseases start to be
viewed as treatable illnesses?
You Selected:

• Colonial

Correct response:

• Colonial

medieval periods, people with psychiatric symptoms were incarcerated in dungeons,
beaten, and starved.

Question 1 See full question

The nurse's primary commitment is to the health, safety, and welfare of people placed in
his or her care, as well as to the public. This commitment is provided through evidence-
based care. What does the term evidence-based care mean?
You Selected:

• Care that integrates the best available evidence from research with clinical
expertise

Correct response:

• Care that integrates the best available evidence from research with clinical
expertise

Explanation:

Evidence-based care involves the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current
best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual clients. It is about
integrating the best available evidence from research with clinical expertise to enhance
decision making.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, pp. 3-4.
Question 2 See full question

Why is the document Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General (1999)
significant?
You Selected:

• Because it states clearly that there are effective treatments for mental illness

Correct response:

• Because it states clearly that there are effective treatments for mental illness

Explanation:

Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General stated that mental health is
fundamental to and necessary for a healthy life; mental disorders are real health
conditions with enormous consequences for individuals, families, communities, and the
nation. Effective treatments for mental disorders are available, and those with mental
disorders or symptoms should seek treatment.

Question 3 See full question

Which of the following is inconsistent with an evidence-based approach?


You Selected:

• Nurse-centered decision making

Correct response:

• Nurse-centered decision making

Explanation:

In an evidence-based approach, clinical questions are defined, evidence is discovered


and analyzed, the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in
collaboration with the client, and outcomes are evaluated. This approach requires using
competent literature search skills, followed by careful reading and critiquing of the
studies.

Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:

Question 4 See full question

Which accurately reflects characteristic life for people living with mental illness in early
psychiatric institutions?
You Selected:

• Deplorable living conditions

Correct response:

• Deplorable living conditions

Explanation:

Despite the good intentions of early reformers, the approach inside the institution was
one of custodial care and practical management, and treatment rarely occurred.
Although a medical superintendent usually directed an institution, overcrowded wards
and few resources created rowdy, dangerous, and unbearable situations.
Reference:
Boyd, M. A. Psychiatric Nursing: Contemporary Practice, 5th ed., Enhanced Update,
Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015, Chapter 1:
Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing and Evidence-Based Practice, p. 7.
Question 5 See full question

During the mid-20th century, the focus of treatment centered on treating


neurotransmitter dysfunction in the brain. As a result hospital stays were shortened due
to the introduction of which?
You Selected:

• Psychopharmacology

Correct response:

• Psychopharmacology

Explanation:

Support for the biologic approaches received an important boost as successful


symptom management with psychopharmacologic agents became a more widespread
possibility in the early 1950s. Psychopharmacology revolutionized the treatment of
mental illness and led to an increased number of clients discharged into the community,
and the eventual focus on the brain became a key to understanding psychiatric
disorders.

Question 6 See full question

The creation of asylums during the 1800s was meant to:


You Selected:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill.

Correct response:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill.

Explanation:

The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for
the mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders or to
punish mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not
created to remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.

Question 7 See full question

Which intervention is focused on a goal included in Healthy People 2020 Mental Health
objectives?
You Selected:

• Including a depression screening in the assessment interview conducted by the


staff of a group of family practitioners

Correct response:

• Including a depression screening in the assessment interview conducted by the


staff of a group of family practitioners

Explanation:

One of the Healthy People 2020 Mental Health objectives is to increase depression
screening by primary care providers. While the remaining options may present positive
interventions, none are directly associated with Healthy People 2020 Mental Health
objectives.

Question 8 See full question

A client demonstrates sexually inappropriate behavior toward a student nurse. What is


an effective way for the student to respond while protecting and respecting the client?
You Selected:

• Ignore the behavior at the time it occurs but report it to staff before leaving
clinicals for the day.

Correct response:

• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be
reenforced with the client.

Explanation:

Some clients have difficulty recognizing or maintaining interpersonal boundaries. When


a client seeks contact of any type outside the nurse–client relationship, it is important for
the student (with the assistance of the instructor or staff) to clarify the boundaries of the
professional relationship. The behavior should not be ignored or minimized but rather
addressed in a professional, matter-of-fact manner so that the client understands the
limits being placed on such behaviors.
Question 9 See full question

If a client states, "I carry this lucky rabbit's foot for luck, my dad did too, and it really
works," which statement by the nurse reflects respect for the client's belief?
You Selected:

• "I can accept that you feel it is lucky, so let's get to our activities for the day."

Correct response:

• "I can accept that you feel it is lucky, so let's get to our activities for the day."

Explanation:

At times, a nurse’s values and beliefs will conflict with those of the client or with the
client’s behavior. The nurse must learn to accept these differences among people and
view each client as a worthwhile person regardless of that client’s opinions and lifestyle.
The nurse does not need to share the client’s views and behavior; the nurse merely
needs to accept them as different from the nurse's own and not let them interfere with
care.
Question 10 See full question

What organization developed and maintains standards of practice that are used to
determine safe quality care and that can be used legally if incorporated into the state
practice act or nurse’s rules and regulations that guide the nursing profession?
You Selected:

• USDHHS (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services)

Correct response:

• ANA (American Nurses Association)

Explanation:

The APNA is based off of the ANA standards and applies to psychiatric nurses,
whereas the ANA standards apply to all nurses in all disciplines. The DSM-5 sets
nomenclature and language for all mental health professionals to use along with
defining symptoms. The USDHHA’s objectives were used to develop Healthy People
2010 and now 2020, to aid in supporting community-based interventions, to decrease
suicide and homelessness, and to increase employment of those with mental illness.

The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to ...
You Selected:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals

Correct response:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals

Explanation:

The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act intimated the movement toward
treating those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation
resulted in the shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care
based in the community. Choices B, C, and D were not purposes of the 1963
Community Mental Health Centers Act.

Question 3 See full question

Which law prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions?
You Selected:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Correct response:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Explanation:

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed, which provided
people with access to affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs. This
law also prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions. The National Mental Health Act of 1946 created a six-member National
Mental Health Advisory Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. In
1999, Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General summarized the most current
evidence for the treatment of people with mental illnesses. The Mental Retardation
Facilities and Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 shifted
authority for mental health programming to the federal government.

In the later medieval era, contaminated environments were believed to cause mental
illness. In the early Christian period, sin or demonic possession was thought to cause
mental illness. Prehistoric healers practiced an ancient surgical technique of removing a

Question 5 See full question

A client grieving the recent loss of her husband asks if she is becoming mentally ill
because she is so sad. Which is the nurse's best response?
You Selected:

• "You are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
experienced."

Correct response:

• "You are not mentally ill. This is an expected reaction to the loss you have
experienced."

Explanation:

Acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered mental illness.
Downplaying the client's grief does not appropriately address the the client's concerns.
The quality of the relationship does not determine the presence of absence of mental
illness.

Question 6 See full question

Nursing education has become broad in practice settings. The addition of psychiatric
nursing became a requirement in nursing education in 1950 by whom?
You Selected:

• National League of Nursing

Correct response:
• National League of Nursing

Explanation:

It was not until 1950 that the National League for Nursing, which accredits nursing
programs, required schools to include an experience in psychiatric nursing. The
American Nurses Association (ANA) is an organization that nurses belong to as a
professional organization. Some state boards of nursing follow the requirements set by
National League of Nursing (NLN). Nurse Practice Acts contains guidelines that can
reflect National League of Nursing and American Nurses Association standards.
Question 7 See full question

What action should a nurse take when unintentionally making an inappropriate or


awkward statement to a client?
You Selected:

• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Correct response:

• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Explanation:

No one magic phrase can solve a client's problems; likewise, no single statement can
significantly worsen them. Listening carefully, showing genuine interest, and caring
about the client are extremely important. A nurse who possesses these elements but
says something that sounds out of place can simply restate it by saying,"That didn't
come out right. What I meant was…” Pretending that the nurse did not say it, stating
that it was a joke, and ignoring the error are not likely to help the nurse build and
maintain credibility with the client.

Question 8 See full question

A client with schizophrenia has been noncompliant with medications. The client requires
frequent admissions to the psychiatric unit for acute psychotic episodes. What is this
process called?
You Selected:

• Revolving door

Correct response:
• Revolving door

Explanation:

The revolving door effect is a result of deinstitutionalization; clients are admitted more
frequently for shorter stays. Boarding is when clients are kept in the emergency
department until the crisis resolves or an inpatient bed is found. Admissions are usually
not escalated but are recurrent.
Question 9 See full question

When reviewing evidence-based practice, which characteristic would the nurse most
likely identify as important? Select all that apply.
You Selected:

• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Correct response:

• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Explanation:

Evidence-based practice is a “problem-solving approach to clinical decision making that


involves the conscientious use of the best available evidence (including a systematic
search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a clinical
question) with ones’ own clinical expertise and patient values and preferences to
improve outcomes for individuals, groups, communities, and systems. In an evidence-
based approach, clinical questions are defined; evidence is discovered and analyzed;
the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in collaboration with the
patient; and outcomes are evaluated.

Question 10 See full question

When describing the historical aspects of psychiatric-mental health care, the nurse
addresses the changes in thought about the cause of mental illness from 0 to 1000 CE.
Which cause would the nurse most likely identify as the belief during this period?
You Selected:

• Demonic control
Correct response:

• Demonic control

Explanation:

During early Christian times (1-1000), primitive beliefs and superstitions were strong.
During this time, sin or demonic possession, not physical illness and personal failure,
was thought to cause mental disorders. Contaminated environments were a common
causative belief during the medieval era (1000-1300 AD).

Until the onset of the Renaissance, the general population held which belief regarding
the presence of sickness?
You Selected:

• It was punishment for sins and wrongdoing.

Correct response:

• It was punishment for sins and wrongdoing.

Explanation:

People of ancient times believed that sickness was a punishment for sins and
wrongdoing. It was not a weakness of physical strength, based on social class, or due
to inadequate parenting.

Question 2 See full question

Which is a difference between counseling and psychotherapy?


You Selected:

• Psychotherapy is reserved for clients who have a documented history of failing to


respond to counseling.

Correct response:

• Generalist psychiatric nurses may perform counseling interventions, but psychotherapy


is an advanced practice role.

Explanation:

The psychiatric nurse uses counseling interventions, but psychotherapy requires


advanced certification according to the American Nurses Association. Psychotherapy is
not reserved solely for those who have not responded to counseling. Transference and
countertransference are significant obstacles in both modes, and neither intervention is
appropriate during acute psychotic episodes.

Question 4 See full question

Hydrotherapy, a primitive treatment, was used for what in the mentally ill population?
You Selected:

• Calming effect

Correct response:

• Calming effect

Explanation:

Hydrotherapy, or baths, was an established procedure in mental institutions. Warm


baths and, in some instances, ice-cold baths produced calming effects for clients with
mental disorders. Success of this treatment, however, was attributed to the restraint of
clients during the bath, and not the physiologic responses that hydrotherapy produced.
Hydrotherapy was not used for pain control, hypnosis, or electrical stimulation.

Before the period of the enlightenment, treatment of the mentally ill included:
You Selected:

• placing the mentally ill on display for the public's amusement.

Correct response:

• placing the mentally ill on display for the public's amusement.


Explanation:

In 1775, visitors at St. Mary's of Bethlehem were charged a fee for viewing and
ridiculing the mentally ill, who were seen as animals, less than human. Custodial care
was not often provided as persons who were considered harmless were allowed to
wander in the countryside or live in rural communities, and more dangerous lunatics
were imprisoned, chained, and starved. In early Christian times, primitive beliefs and
superstitions were strong. The mentally ill were viewed as evil or possessed. Priests
performed exorcisms to rid evil spirits, and in the colonies, witch hunts were conducted
with offenders burned at the stake. It was not until the period of enlightenment when
persons who were mentally ill were offered asylum as a safe refuge or haven offering
protection at institutions.

• A man who was denied inpatient psychiatric treatment by his health maintenance
organization (HMO)

Correct response:

• A woman who was transferred from a psychiatric hospital to the community because of
the hospital's impending closure

Question 2 See full question

A nurse is reviewing information about various legislation that has affected psychiatric-
mental health care. When reading about the Hill-Burton Act, the nurse would most likely
find information about which type of federal support for health care?
You Selected:
• Mental health programming

Correct response:

• Hospital construction

Explanation:

The Hill-Burton Act (1946) provided substantial federal support for hospital construction,
which expanded the number of psychiatric units in general hospitals. The Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) aims to provide people with access to
affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs and prevent insurance
companies from excluding people because of preexisting conditions. The National
Mental Health Act (1946) created a six-member National Mental Health Advisory
Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. The Mental Retardation

The humane and supportive rehabilitative attitude of the Quakers was seen as an
extremely important influence in changing techniques of caring for those with mental
disorders.

Dorothea Dix’s solution to gain humane treatment for the mentally ill population included
what?
You Selected:

• State hospitals

Correct response:

• State hospitals

Explanation:

Dorothea Dix, a vigorous crusader for the humane treatment of clients with mental
illness, was responsible for much of the reform of the mental health care system in the
19th century. Her solution was state hospitals.

Question 5 See full question

The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly admitted
client. Which would the nurse identify as having a positive impact on the individual's
mental health?
You Selected:

• The ability to effectively manage stress

Correct response:

• The ability to effectively manage stress

Explanation:

Individual factors influencing mental health include coping or stress management


abilities. Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and
connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a healthy person
would need others for companionship. A family history of mental illness could relate to
the biologic makeup of an individual, which may have a negative impact on an
individual's mental health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and striving to attain this is
likely to lead to frustration and isolation.

Question 6 See full question

Which is true regarding mental health and mental illness?


You Selected:

• In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping,
positive self-concept, and emotional stability.

Correct response:

• In most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping,
positive self-concept, and emotional stability.

Explanation:

Mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness evidenced by


satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-
concept, and emotional stability. Concepts of behavior that is acceptable and
unacceptable vary widely between cultures. Consequently, mental health or illness can
be difficult to discern. Persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but
the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute
to mental illness.

Question 7 See full question

A psychiatric nurse is planning an educational program addressing primary prevention


strategies in the community. The nurse explores current research regarding which
health care need?
You Selected:

• Informing parents of the early signs of attention deficit disorder in children

Correct response:

• Assisting high school students to effectively manage stress

Explanation:
Nurses work to provide mental health prevention services to reduce risks to the mental
health of persons, families, and communities. Examples include primary prevention,
such as stress management education; secondary prevention, such as early
identification of potential mental health problems; and tertiary prevention, such as
monitoring and coordinating rehabilitation services for the mentally ill. Primary
prevention focuses on individuals who have not been diagnosed with mental health
disorders.
Question 8 See full question

What nursing action demonstrates the intended impact of the American Nurses
Association (ANA) standards of care on mental health nursing care?
You Selected:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Correct response:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Explanation:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) develops standards of care as authoritative


statements by professional organizations that describe the responsibilities for which
nurses are accountable, thus identifying the nurse's scope of practice. They are not
legally binding unless they are incorporated into the state nurse practice act or state
board rules and regulations. When legal problems or lawsuits arise, these professional
standards are used to determine safe and acceptable practice and to assess the quality
of care in the court of law. Neither identifying advanced level functions or safety
delegation principles are directly associated with the ANAs nursing standards.
Question 9 See full question

A client demonstrates sexually inappropriate behavior toward a student nurse. What is


an effective way for the student to respond while protecting and respecting the client?
You Selected:

• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be reenforced
with the client.

Correct response:

• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be reenforced
with the client.

Explanation:
Some clients have difficulty recognizing or maintaining interpersonal boundaries. When
a client seeks contact of any type outside the nurse–client relationship, it is important for
the student (with the assistance of the instructor or staff) to clarify the boundaries of the
professional relationship. The behavior should not be ignored or minimized but rather
addressed in a professional, matter-of-fact manner so that the client understands the
limits being placed on such behaviors.
Question 10 See full question

What organization developed and maintains standards of practice that are used to
determine safe quality care and that can be used legally if incorporated into the state
practice act or nurse’s rules and regulations that guide the nursing profession?
You Selected:

• ANA (American Nurses Association)

Correct response:

• ANA (American Nurses Association)

Explanation:

The APNA is based off of the ANA standards and applies to psychiatric nurses,
whereas the ANA standards apply to all nurses in all disciplines. The DSM-5 sets
nomenclature and language for all mental health professionals to use along with
defining symptoms. The USDHHA’s objectives were used to develop Healthy People
2010 and now 2020, to aid in supporting community-based interventions, to decrease
suicide and homelessness, and to increase employment of those with mental illness.

Question 1 See full question

While reading a journal article about early mental health care, the nurse learns about
the creation of asylums during the 1800s. Which reason would the nurse most likely
identify as underlying their creation?
You Selected:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill

Correct response:

• provide food and shelter for the mentally ill

Explanation:

The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for
the mentally ill. Asylums were not used to improve treatment of mental disorders nor to
punish mentally ill people who were believed to be possessed. The asylum was not
created to remove the dangerously mentally ill from the community.

Question 2 See full question

Which of the following is inconsistent with an evidence-based approach?


You Selected:
• Nurse-centered decision making

Correct response:

• Nurse-centered decision making

Explanation:

In an evidence-based approach, clinical questions are defined, evidence is discovered


and analyzed, the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in
collaboration with the client, and outcomes are evaluated. This approach requires using
competent literature search skills, followed by careful reading and critiquing of the
studies.

Question 3 See full question

When reviewing the historical views about mental illness, which belief best reflected the
thoughts about mental illness during the later medieval era (1000–1300)?
You Selected:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Correct response:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Explanation:

In the later medieval era, contaminated environments were believed to cause mental
illness. In the early Christian period, sin or demonic possession was thought to cause
mental illness. Prehistoric healers practiced an ancient surgical technique of removing a
disk of bone from the skull to let out evil spirits. The causation of a chemical imbalance
was not a belief held in the medieval era.

You Selected:
• establishment or enlargement of state hospitals.

Correct response:

• establishment or enlargement of state hospitals.

Explanation:

One of the primary reforms accomplished by Dorothea Lynde Dix was the establishment
or enlargement of state hospitals to treat the mentally ill. She also was instrumental in
the establishment of mental hospitals in England, Canada, and Europe in the 19th
century.

Question 5 See full question

In the 1970s, intensive psychoanalysis was the treatment of choice for clients suffering
from severe mental illness in institutions.
You Selected:

• False

Correct response:

• False

Explanation:

Freudian ideology dominated psychiatry well into the 1970s. Intensive psychoanalysis,
aimed at repairing the trauma of the original psychological injury, was the treatment of
choice. Psychoanalysis was costly, time-consuming, and required lengthy training.
Thus, thousands of clients in state institutions with severe mental illnesses were
essentially ignored.

Which religious group was instrumental in stopping the practice of bloodletting?


You Selected:

• Quakers

Correct response:

• Quakers

Explanation:

In the United States, the Quakers were instrumental in stopping the practice of
bloodletting; they also placed great emphasis on providing a proper religious
atmosphere. Methodists, Baptists, and Mormons were not instrumental in stopping this
practice.

Question 8 See full question

The nurse knows that mental health issues are constantly changing. Which is a
standard of professional performance to keep in current practice?
You Selected:

• Education

Correct response:
• Education

Explanation:

Education is a standard of professional performance. Other standards of professional


performance include the quality of practice, professional practice evaluation, collegiality,
collaboration, ethics, research, resource utilization, and leadership. Assessment,
planning, and implementation are components of the nursing process, not standards of
professional performance.

Question 9 See full question

The newly licensed registered nurse has been hired at the local hospital in the geriatric-
psychiatry unit. Today is the nurse's first day of orientation to this facility. What would be
the nurse's priority action if a client becomes aggressive?
You Selected:

• Assist other staff on the unit to take down the client safely

Correct response:

• Maintain a safe distance from the client

Explanation:

As a newly licensed registered nurse on orientation the first day, the nurse has not been
trained to take down or assist in taking down an aggressive client. Serious injury can
occur. Maintaining a safe distance in this situation is the most prudent, until the nurse
has received the appropriate training. Since the nurse is new to this unit, the nurse is
not in a position to reinforce boundaries at this time, as the client may perceive the
nurse as an outsider and may appear as a threat, thus escalating the situation.
Therapeutic settings are for all clients, acceptable behaviors are reinforced, and
secluding or isolating the client can foster aggressive behavior.
Question 10 See full question

A nurse is reviewing the contribution of Clifford Beers to psychiatric care. The nurse
would identify development of which aspect as being associated with Beers?
You Selected:

• Stress management techniques

Correct response:
• Prison clinics

Explanation:

In 1909, the National Mental Health Committee formed by Clifford Beers was
responsible for the development of child guidance clinics, prison clinics, and industrial
mental health approaches. Graduate level training programs for psychiatric-nurses,
stress reduction techniques and use of hydrotherapy are not associated with Beers.

Which skill is in the psychiatric–mental health registered nurse's scope of practice?


You Selected:

• Evaluating the effectiveness of psychiatric medications

Correct response:

• Evaluating the effectiveness of psychiatric medications

Explanation:

Skills and practices of the psychiatric–mental health registered nurse may include
assessing and recording behavior, administering and evaluating the effectiveness of

psychiatric milieu.
Question 2 See full question

Which is a difference between counseling and psychotherapy?


You Selected:

• Generalist psychiatric nurses may perform counseling interventions, but psychotherapy


is an advanced practice role.

Correct response:

• Generalist psychiatric nurses may perform counseling interventions, but psychotherapy


is an advanced practice role.

Explanation:

The psychiatric nurse uses counseling interventions, but psychotherapy requires


advanced certification according to the American Nurses Association. Psychotherapy is
not reserved solely for those who have not responded to counseling. Transference and
countertransference are significant obstacles in both modes, and neither intervention is
appropriate during acute psychotic episodes.
Question 3 See full question

According to Freud, in which phase does the toddler develop a sense of autonomy
through withholding?
You Selected:

• Anal
Correct response:

• Anal

Explanation:

In the anal phase of development, according to Freud, the toddler develops a sense of
autonomy through withholding. In the oral phase, the infant experiences the world
through symbolic oral ingestion. The beginning sense of sexuality merges within the
framework of the oedipal relationship in the genital stage.

Question 4 See full question

During which period of the premoral treatment era did mental diseases start to be
viewed as treatable illnesses?
You Selected:

• Colonial

Correct response:

• Colonial

Explanation:

During the colonial period (1700-1730), mental diseases began to be viewed as


treatable illnesses. During the later medieval period, Muslims built the first asylums.
During the Renaissance period, people with psychiatric symptoms who presented a
threat to society were apprehended and locked up. In the early Christian and early
medieval periods, people with psychiatric symptoms were incarcerated in dungeons,
beaten, and starved.

Question 6 See full question

Which is a clinical activity of only the advanced practice registered nurse?


You Selected:

• Psychotherapy

Correct response:

• Psychotherapy

Explanation:

Clinical activities of the advanced practice registered nurse include psychotherapy,


community interventions, and clinical supervision. Milieu therapy, crisis intervention, and
triage are clinical activities of the psychiatric-mental health registered nurse.

Question 7 See full question

What action should a nurse take when unintentionally making an inappropriate or


awkward statement to a client?
You Selected:

• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Correct response:
• Clarify by saying, "That wasn't what I meant to say."

Explanation:

No one magic phrase can solve a client's problems; likewise, no single statement can
significantly worsen them. Listening carefully, showing genuine interest, and caring
about the client are extremely important. A nurse who possesses these elements but
says something that sounds out of place can simply restate it by saying,"That didn't
come out right. What I meant was…” Pretending that the nurse did not say it, stating
that it was a joke, and ignoring the error are not likely to help the nurse build and
maintain credibility with the client.

Which client statement demonstrates the most positive aspect of treating clients with
mental illness in community-based care?
You Selected:

• "This program will help me have fewer hospitalizations."

Correct response:

• "I can live in my own home and still see a therapist regularly."

Explanation:

While all of the options present true statements, the most positive benefit of a
community-based mental health program is that it provides the client the ability to stay
in a familiar environment and still have access to the required mental health care. The
remaining options address issues of personal not mental health issues that are
important to the client.

Question 9 See full question

When reviewing evidence-based practice, which characteristic would the nurse most
likely identify as important? Select all that apply.
You Selected:

• It applies research findings practically..


• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Correct response:

• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.

Explanation:

Evidence-based practice is a “problem-solving approach to clinical decision making that


involves the conscientious use of the best available evidence (including a systematic
search for and critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a clinical
question) with ones’ own clinical expertise and patient values and preferences to
improve outcomes for individuals, groups, communities, and systems. In an evidence-
based approach, clinical questions are defined; evidence is discovered and analyzed;
the research findings are applied in a practical manner and in collaboration with the
patient; and outcomes are evaluated.

Question 10 See full question

When describing the historical aspects of psychiatric-mental health care, the nurse
addresses the changes in thought about the cause of mental illness from 0 to 1000 CE.
Which cause would the nurse most likely identify as the belief during this period?
You Selected:

• Demonic control

Correct response:

• Demonic control

Explanation:

During early Christian times (1-1000), primitive beliefs and superstitions were strong.
During this time, sin or demonic possession, not physical illness and personal failure,
was thought to cause mental disorders. Contaminated environments were a common
causative belief during the medieval era (1000-1300 AD).

Which individual has experienced the consequences of deinstitutionalization?


You Selected:

• A woman who was transferred from a psychiatric hospital to the community because of
the hospital's impending closure

Correct response:

• A woman who was transferred from a psychiatric hospital to the community because of
the hospital's impending closure

Explanation:

The process of deinstitutionalization involves moving chronically mentally ill clients from
state psychiatric hospitals back to their homes or to community-supervised facilities.

Question 2 See full question

During the moral treatment period, clients were routinely placed into which
environment?
You Selected:

• Asylums

Correct response:

• Asylums

Explanation:

In the moral treatment period (1790–1900), moral treatment and the use of kindness,
compassion, and a pleasant environment was adopted. Clients were routinely removed
from their communities and placed in asylums, which was thought to be best for their
safety and comfort. Community mental health centers, by and large, ignored the legions
of people with serious mental illnesses and instead focused on the treatment of those
with alcoholism and drug addiction. Clients were not placed in psychosocial
rehabilitation centers or group homes during the moral treatment period.

Question 3 See full question

Which was the initial focus of community mental health centers (CMHCs)?
You Selected:

• Alcoholism and addiction

Correct response:

• Alcoholism and addiction

Explanation:

The CMHCs, by and large, ignored the legions of people with serious mental illnesses
and instead focused on the treatment of people with alcoholism and drug addiction.
Individual psychotherapy, the primary treatment offered in most centers, was insufficient
for those who needed other types of treatment, housing, and vocational opportunities.
Social-recreational services and group therapy were not the initial focuses of CMHCs.

Question 4 See full question

The application of psychiatric mental health nursing theory to promote holistic client
care in the therapeutic relationship is grounded in the work of which historical figure?
You Selected:

• Peplau

Correct response:

• Peplau

Explanation:

In 1952, Peplau published the landmark work, Interpersonal Relations in Nursing. It


introduced psychiatric and mental health nursing practice to the concepts of
interpersonal relations and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. The nurse–
client relationship supported a holistic perspective on client care.

Question 5 See full question

Hydrotherapy, a primitive treatment, was used for what in the mentally ill population?
You Selected:

• Calming effect

Correct response:

• Calming effect

Explanation:

Hydrotherapy, or baths, was an established procedure in mental institutions. Warm


baths and, in some instances, ice-cold baths produced calming effects for clients with
mental disorders. Success of this treatment, however, was attributed to the restraint of
clients during the bath, and not the physiologic responses that hydrotherapy produced.
Hydrotherapy was not used for pain control, hypnosis, or electrical stimulation.

autonomy by withholding?
You Selected:

• Anal

The goal of the 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act was to:
You Selected:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals.

Correct response:

• deinstitutionalize state hospitals.

Explanation:

The 1963 Community Mental Health Centers Act initiated the movement toward treating
those with mental illness in a less restrictive environment. This legislation resulted in the
shift of clients with mental illness from large state institutions to care based in the
community. This Act did not focus on clients' rights, funding for inpatient treatment, or
humane care.

A psychiatric nurse is planning an educational program addressing primary prevention


strategies in the community. The nurse explores current research regarding which
health care need?
You Selected:

• Assisting high school students to effectively manage stress

Correct response:

• Assisting high school students to effectively manage stress

Explanation:

Nurses work to provide mental health prevention services to reduce risks to the mental
health of persons, families, and communities. Examples include primary prevention,
such as stress management education; secondary prevention, such as early
identification of potential mental health problems; and tertiary prevention, such as
monitoring and coordinating rehabilitation services for the mentally ill. Primary
prevention focuses on individuals who have not been diagnosed with mental health

Question 1 See full question

Which activity is a function solely of the advanced practice psychiatric–mental health


nurse?
You Selected:

• Conducting individual psychotherapy

Correct response:

• Conducting individual psychotherapy

Explanation:

The advanced practice psychiatric–mental health nurse may provide psychotherapy


(individual, group, family). Examples include all common forms of brief or long-term
therapy. The therapist role that the APRN-PMH assumes is formal and structured and
often involves contracts (verbal, written, or both) with clients.
Question 2 See full question

Deinstitutionalization has resulted in which of the following?


You Selected:

• A revolving door of repetitive hospital admission

Correct response:

• A revolving door of repetitive hospital admission

Explanation:
Deinstitutionalization has resulted in a revolving door of repetitive hospital admission. It
has decreased community resources, with less funding, and it has made it more difficult
for mental health clients to achieve independence.

Question 3 See full question

The first training of nurses to work with persons with mental illness was in 1882 in which
state?
You Selected:

• Massachusetts

Correct response:

• Massachusetts

Explanation:

The first training for nurses to work with persons with mental illness was in 1882 at
McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts.

Question 4 See full question

Which is accurate regarding institutionalization? Select all that apply.


You Selected:

• Clients had little hope of re-entering society


• Clients suffered physical abuse
• Clients were socially isolated

Correct response:

• Clients were socially isolated


• Clients had little hope of re-entering society
• Clients suffered physical abuse

Explanation:
Institutionalization produced clients who were socially isolated. Few trained
professionals could care for the clients, and outcomes were consistently negative. The
clients had little hope of re-entering society, and they suffered adverse physical and
psychological effects.

Question 5 See full question

A significant change in the treatment of people with mental illness occurred in the 1950s
when:
You Selected:

• psychotropic drugs became available for use.

Correct response:

• psychotropic drugs became available for use.

Explanation:

The development of psychotropic drugs, or drugs used to treat mental illness, began in
the 1950s. Community support, client rights, and commitment procedures were
addressed more directly in later decades.

Question 6 See full question

One of the unforeseen effects of the movement toward community mental health
services is ...
You Selected:

• an increased number of admissions to available hospital services.

Correct response:

• an increased number of admissions to available hospital services.

Explanation:

Although people with severe and persistent mental illness have shorter hospital stays,
they are admitted to hospitals more frequently. Although deinstitutionalization reduced
the number of public hospital beds by 80%, the number of admissions to those beds
correspondingly increased by 90%. The number of individuals with mental illness did not
change.

Question 7 See full question

A client has been started on antidepressants. Which interdisciplinary team member


is most responsible for monitoring effectiveness and side effects of this new
medication?
You Selected:

• Psychiatric nurse

Correct response:

• Psychiatric nurse

Explanation:

The nurse is also an essential team member in evaluating the effectiveness of medical
treatment, particularly medications. The pharmacist has a working knowledge of
medications but has limited contact with the patient. The primary function of the
psychiatrist is diagnosis of mental disorders and prescription of medical treatments. The
clinical psychologist practices therapy.

Question 8 See full question

A nurse documents that a client has successfully acquired a job performing janitorial
services at a local manufacturing company. The goal of which level of prevention has
been achieved?
You Selected:

• Tertiary prevention

Correct response:

• Tertiary prevention
Explanation:

Examples of prevention services include primary prevention, such as stress


management education; secondary prevention, such as early identification of potential
mental health problems; and tertiary prevention, such as monitoring and coordinating
rehabilitation services for the mentally ill. Obtaining employment is a key aspect of
rehabilitation and is consequently an example of tertiary prevention. Community
prevention is not a recognized category of prevention.
Question 9 See full question

What nursing action demonstrates the intended impact of the American Nurses
Association (ANA) standards of care on mental health nursing care?
You Selected:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Correct response:

• Referring to the standards to determine if a particularly prescribed treatment falls within


the scope of a nurse's practice.

Explanation:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) develops standards of care as authoritative


statements by professional organizations that describe the responsibilities for which
nurses are accountable, thus identifying the nurse's scope of practice. They are not
legally binding unless they are incorporated into the state nurse practice act or state
board rules and regulations. When legal problems or lawsuits arise, these professional
standards are used to determine safe and acceptable practice and to assess the quality
of care in the court of law. Neither identifying advanced level functions or safety
delegation principles are directly associated with the ANAs nursing standards.
Question 10 See full question

The newly licensed registered nurse has been hired at the local hospital in the geriatric-
psychiatry unit. Today is the nurse's first day of orientation to this facility. What would be
the nurse's priority action if a client becomes aggressive?
You Selected:

• Maintain a safe distance from the client

Correct response:

• Maintain a safe distance from the client

Explanation:
As a newly licensed registered nurse on orientation the first day, the nurse has not been
trained to take down or assist in taking down an aggressive client. Serious injury can
occur. Maintaining a safe distance in this situation is the most prudent, until the nurse
has received the appropriate training. Since the nurse is new to this unit, the nurse is
not in a position to reinforce boundaries at this time, as the client may perceive the
nurse as an outsider and may appear as a threat, thus escalating the situation.
Therapeutic settings are for all clients, acceptable behaviors are reinforced, and
secluding or isolating the client can foster aggressive behavior.

A major problem with large state institutions was that they ...
You Selected:

• kept clients geographically isolated from family and community

Correct response:

• kept clients geographically isolated from family and community

Explanation:

Clients were often far removed from the local community, family, and friends because
state institutions were usually in rural or remote settings. Choices A, B, and D were not
major problems associated with large state instructions.

Which law prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions?
You Selected:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Correct response:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Explanation:

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed, which provided
people with access to affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs. This
law also prevents insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting
conditions. The National Mental Health Act of 1946 created a six-member National
Mental Health Advisory Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. In
1999, Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General summarized the most current
evidence for the treatment of people with mental illnesses. The Mental Retardation
Facilities and Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act of 1963 shifted
authority for mental health programming to the federal government.

Question 3 See full question
Which piece of legislation put consumers of mental health care back in charge of their
care?
You Selected:

Correct response:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Explanation:

In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed to provide people
with access to affordable, effective treatments for their mental health needs, and to
prevent insurance companies from excluding people because of preexisting conditions.
The intent of this legislation is to put the consumers of mental health care back in
charge of their care. The National Mental Health Act of 1946 created a National Mental
Health Advisory Council to oversee and coordinate research and training. The Report of
the Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health of 2000 highlights
consensus recommendations for identifying, recognizing, and referring children to
services; increasing access to services for families; and using evidence for evaluating
treatment services, systems of care, and financing. The Mental Retardation Facilities
and Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act shifted authority for mental
health programming to the federal government.

Question 9 See full question

The nurse knows that mental health issues are constantly changing. Which is a
standard of professional performance to keep in current practice?
You Selected:

• Education

Correct response:

• Education

Explanation:

Education is a standard of professional performance. Other standards of professional


performance include the quality of practice, professional practice evaluation, collegiality,
collaboration, ethics, research, resource utilization, and leadership. Assessment,
planning, and implementation are components of the nursing process, not standards of
professional performance.

• To assist in identifying the underlying causes of disorders.
• To provide a standardized nomenclature and language for all mental health
professionals.

Correct response:

• To provide a standardized nomenclature and language for all mental health


professionals.
• To present defining characteristics or symptoms that differentiate specific diagnoses.
• To assist in identifying the underlying causes of disorders.

Explanation:

The DSM-5 has three purposes: (1) to provide a standardized nomenclature and
language for all mental health professionals; (2) to present defining characteristics or
symptoms that differentiate specific diagnoses; and (3) to assist in identifying the
underlying causes of disorders. The DSM-5 was not designed to provide the practitioner
with standards of care for all clients nor to provide standards for hospital and community
based institutions.

Question 1 See full question

Which is a premise underlying the 1963 Mental Retardation Facilities and Community
Mental Health Centers Construction Act?
You Selected:

• Institutionalization was viewed as contributing to illness.

Correct response:

• Institutionalization was viewed as contributing to illness.

Explanation:

The supporters of the 1963 legislation believed the exact opposite of what Dorothea Dix
believed during the previous century. That is, instead of viewing an institution as a
peaceful asylum, institutionalization was viewed as contributing to illness.
Institutionalization was not viewed as the least restrictive environment or as a
therapeutic environment.

When reviewing the historical views about mental illness, which belief best reflected the
thoughts about mental illness during the later medieval era (1000–1300)?
You Selected:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Correct response:

• It was caused by contaminated environments.

Explanation:

In the later medieval era, contaminated environments were believed to cause mental
illness. In the early Christian period, sin or demonic possession was thought to cause
mental illness. Prehistoric healers practiced an ancient surgical technique of removing a
disk of bone from the skull to let out evil spirits. The causation of a chemical imbalance
was not a belief held in the medieval era.

During which period of the premoral treatment era did mental diseases start to be
viewed as treatable illnesses?
You Selected:

• Colonial

Correct response:

• Colonial

Explanation:

During the colonial period (1700-1730), mental diseases began to be viewed as


treatable illnesses. During the later medieval period, Muslims built the first asylums.
During the Renaissance period, people with psychiatric symptoms who presented a
threat to society were apprehended and locked up. In the early Christian and early
medieval periods, people with psychiatric symptoms were incarcerated in dungeons,
beaten, and starved.
