A PMHNP is treating a 45-year-old female patient who is upset that her brother has not
been calling since his divorce. When asked to describe her brother and what prompts him
not to call as frequently, she says, “Everything is about him, not me. I think he’s jealous
that I have a good marriage and he wants me to be unhappy, too. So he doesn’t call to
upset me and ruin my relationships.” Based on this information, the PMHNP can conclude
that the patient _________.

has an insistent emphasis on the feelings of others

Question 3

You are seeing a 29-year-old widow whose husband recently died overseas while serving
his country in the military. She has been mourning the loss of her husband for several
months, and continues to grieve. She refuses to go to group grieving sessions, but reports
that she is still able to go to work and her fitness classes sometimes, and even makes
attempts to stay social. She says, “Sometimes it’s like he’s not even gone. Other times it
feels like it’s been an eternity since I’ve seen him. It’s hard to talk about this type of stuff
with my girlfriends, especially since all of their husbands are still alive.” The PMHNP
understands that it is appropriate to employ which therapeutic principle?
, Selected Answer: A.
Encouraging catharsis
Question 4
1 out of 1 points
The PMHNP is treating a 35-year-old male officer in the military. He discloses that both
of his parents are deceased and that he loved them. However, he says that he had feelings
of inadequacy because his parents held him to a standard that he could never achieve. He
went on to say that nothing he did ever felt good enough. The PMHNP assesses that this
patient has perfect creases in his uniform with no strings or tags out of place; she also
notices that he has perfect posture and questions him about ritualistic behaviors. She
suspects that this patient has maladaptive responses to the expectations placed on him as a
teenager and young adult. Which statements made by the patient would verify the
PMHNP’s suspicion?
Selected D.
Answer: “I believe in systems; I have to have order and rules in my everyday life. If
a task must be completed, I will often complete it myself versus depending
on someone else.”
