daily routine have not changed. The nurse determines the client’s behaviors:
1. Demonstrate typical variations in daily mood, not mental illness
2. Are clinically significant and indicate serious mental illness
3. Are incongruent with cultural norms and indicate mental illness
4. Show common symptoms of grief and do not indicate mental illness

Cognitive Level: Analysis [Analyzing]
Concept: Grief and Loss
Difficulty: Moderate

Feedback
1. This is incorrect. Feelings of sadness are not a typical aspect of daily mood
variations.
2. This is incorrect. These symptoms are not clinically significant from the
perspective of mental illness. The client demonstrates a common grief
response.
3. This is incorrect. Feelings of sadness are expected and normal following the
loss of a pet. The client does not exhibit signs of mental illness, as daily
functioning is not impaired.
4. This is correct. Feelings of sadness are expected and normal following the lossof a
pet. This client does not demonstrate changes in daily function but does demonstrate
common symptoms of grief.

Page: 14
Heading: Mental Illness
Integrated Processes: Nursing Process: Assessment
Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity
Cognitive Level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Stress
Difficulty: Moderate

Feedback
1. This is incorrect. The client is expressing normal behaviors related to mild
anxiety appropriate to a situation, in this case an examination. Mild anxiety
can be beneficial to improve performance.
2. This is correct. The client is unable to concentrate, and job performance has
been negatively impacted. This demonstrates a possible mental disorder.
3. This is incorrect. Fidgeting behavior over a short-term period is a common
psychological adaptive response to mild anxiety. This does not suggest a
mental disorder.
4. This is incorrect. Smoking or increasing smoking over a few days is a common
response to stress and suggests mild anxiety, which does not suggest a mental
disorder.

CON: Stress

2. “Children from the same family should not react so differently to stress.”
3. “Children should have similar dispositions and responses to stress.”
4. “Environmental factors influence stress responses more than genetic factors.”
