Varcarolis Ch 2; Theories and Therapies Practice
Exam Questions and Answers (100% Pass)


A parent says, "My 2-year-old child refuses toilet training and shouts 'No!'

when given directions. What do you think is wrong?" Select the nurse's

best reply.


a. "Your child needs firmer control. It is important to set limits now."


b. "This is normal for your child's age. The child is striving for

independence."


c. "There may be developmental problems. Most children are toilet trained

by age 2."


d. "Some undesirable attitudes are developing. A child psychologist can

help you develop a plan." - Answer✔️✔️-B


This behavior is conventional of a child around the age of 2 years, whose

developmental task is to develop autonomy. The distracters indicate the

child's behavior is abnormal.

A nurse wants to find information on current evidence-based research,

programs, and practices regarding mental illness and addictions. Which

resource should the nurse consult?


a. American Psychiatric Association


b. American Psychological Association (APA)


c. Clinician's Quick Guide to Interpersonal Psychotherapy


d. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA) - Answer✔️✔️-D


The SAMHSA maintains a National Registry of Evidence-based Practices

and Programs. New therapies are entered into the database on a regular

basis. The incorrect responses are resources but do not focus on evidence-

based information.

b. Initiative versus guilt

c. Industry versus inferiority


d. Autonomy versus shame and doubt - Answer✔️✔️-D


The crisis of autonomy versus shame and doubt relates to the

developmental task of gaining control of self and environment, as

exemplified by toilet training. This psychosocial crisis occurs during the

period of early childhood. Trust versus mistrust is the crisis of the infant.

Initiative versus guilt is the crisis of the preschool and early-school-aged

child. Industry versus inferiority is the crisis of the 6- to 12-year-old child.


A 4-year-old grabs toys from other children and says, "I want that now!"

From a psychoanalytic perspective, this behavior is a product of impulses

originating in which system of the personality?


a. Id


b. Ego


c. Superego


d. Preconscious - Answer✔️✔️-A


The id operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification

of impulses. The ego acts as a mediator of behavior and weighs the

consequences of the action, perhaps determining that taking the toy is not

worth the mother's wrath. The superego would oppose the impulsive

behavior as "not nice." The preconscious is a level of awareness rather than

an aspect of personality.


The parent of a 4-year-old rewards and praises the child for helping a

sibling, being polite, and using good manners. These qualities are likely to

be internalized and become part of which system of the personality?


a. Id


b. Ego


c. Superego


d. Preconscious - Answer✔️✔️-C


The superego contains the "shoulds," or moral standards internalized from

interactions with significant others. Praise fosters internalization of

desirable behaviors. The id is the center of basic instinctual drives, and the

ego is the mediator. The ego is the problem-solving and reality-testing

portion of the personality that negotiates solutions with the outside world.

The preconscious is a level of awareness from which material can be
