recent Death Of A Beloved Pet. The Clients Appetite, Sleep Patterns, And Daily Routine Have Not
Changed. How Should The Nurse Interpret The Clients Behaviors?

2. The Clients Behaviors Are Extensive, Which Indicates The Presence Of Mental Illness.
3. The Clients Behaviors Are Not Congruent With Cultural Norms.
4. The Clients Behaviors Demonstrate No Functional Impairment, Indicating No Mental Illness.
CORRECT ANSWER>> 4

2. When Maladaptive Responses To Stress Are Coupled With Interference In Daily Functioning.
3. When A Client Communicates Significant Distress.

RATIONALE: The Nurse Should Determine That The Client Is At Risk For Mental Illness When
responses To Stress Are Maladaptive And Interfere With Daily Functioning. The DSM-5 Indicates That In
Order To Be Diagnosed With A Mental Illness, Daily Functioning Must Be Significantly Impaired. The
Clients Ability To Communicate Distress Would Be Considered A Positive Attribute.
