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.

• 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:
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:
Correct response:
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:
Correct response:
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:
Correct response:
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:
Correct response:
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.

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:
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
Correct response:
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.

Correct response:
• It is a problem-solving approach.
• It applies research findings practically..
• It aids in clinical decision making.
Explanation:
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).

You Selected:
Correct response:
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 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.

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.

Explanation:
• Report the incident to staff and the clinical instructor so boundaries can be reenforced

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.

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:

The asylum was meant to be a safe haven with food, shelter, and humane treatment for

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:
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:
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

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.

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).

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:
Correct response:
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.

You Selected:
Correct response:
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
Correct response:
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 10 See full question
Which client statement demonstrates the most positive aspect of treating clients with
mental illness in community-based care?
You Selected:
• "I can live in my own home and still see a therapist regularly."
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.

Correct response:
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
Correct response:
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.

You Selected:
Correct response:
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.

• 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.

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

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

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

Explanation:
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.

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

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

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.

Explanation:
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).

You Selected:
Correct response:
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 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.

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.

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.

You Selected:
Correct response:
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:
Correct response:
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.

Explanation:
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:
Correct response:
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
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.

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:
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:
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:
Correct response:

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.

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.

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
Correct response:
Explanation:

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 6 See full question
One of the unforeseen effects of the movement toward community mental health
services is ...
You Selected:
Correct response:
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
• 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:
What nursing action demonstrates the intended impact of the American Nurses
Association (ANA) standards of care on mental health nursing care?
You Selected:
Correct response:
Explanation:
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:
Correct response:
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.

You Selected:
Correct response:
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.

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:
Correct response:
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:
Correct response:
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.
