Primary prevention helps to reduce the occurrence of mental disorders by

staying involved with a patient. Providing medication and information on
v vv vv vv vvv vvv vvv vvv vv vvv
existing illnesses are examples of secondary prevention which helps to

preparation for a job interview is tertiary prevention since it involves

ANS: D
A primary factor in patient treatment includes consideration of the patient‘s
v v v v v vv vv vv vv vv
intentions regarding his or her own care. Patients are central to the process
v v v v v v v v v v v v v

, that determines their care as their abilities allow. Under the guidance of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
v PMH nurses and other mental health personnel, patients are encouraged to
v vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vvv vv
vmake decisions and to actively engage in their own treatment plans to meet
v vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vvv vvv vvv vv
vtheir needs. The remaining options are focused on specifics of the determined

, 4. When a patient‘s family asks why their chronically mentally ill
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v adult v
childis being discharged to a community-based living facility, the
v v vv v vv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv nurse
responds:
v
a. ―It is a way to meet the need for social support.‖
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
b. ―It is too expensive to keep stabilized patients in acute care settings.‖
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
c. ―This type of facility will provide the specialized care that is needed.‖
vv v v vv v v v v vv v v v v vv v v v v
d. ―Being out in the community will help provide hope and purpose

forliving.‖v v
ANS: D
Hospitalization may be necessary for acute care, but, when patients are
v v vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv
stabilized, they move into community-based, patient-centered settings or
v v v v v v v v
aredischarged home with continued outpatient treatment in the
v v v v v v v v v
community.
v
Concentrated efforts are made to reduce the patient‘s sick role by providing
v v v v v v v v vv vv vv
opportunities for the development of a purposeful life and instilling hope for
v vv vv vv vvv vv vvv vvv vvv vv vvv vvv
each patient‘s future. Although social support is important, such a living
v vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vvv
arrangement is not the only way to achieve it. Although acute care is
v vv vv vv vv vv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv
expensive, it is not the major concern when determining long-term care
v vvv vv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv
options. Community-based facilities are not the only option for specialized care.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
chronicallyill teenage patient asks, ―Under what circumstances would he

cbe
onsidered incompetent?‖
a. ―When vyou can provide vthe court with enough evidence to show that
v v vv
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
he is not able to care for himself safely.‖
vvv vvv v v v v v v
b. ―It is not likely that someone his age would be determined to
v v v v v v v v v v v
beincompetent regardless of his mental condition.‖
v v v v v v v
c. ―He would have to engage in behavior that would result in harm
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
tohimself or tosomeone else; like you or his siblings.‖
v v v v v v v v v v
d. ―If the illness becomes so severe that his judgment is impaired to
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv v
thepoint whethe decisions he makes are harmful to himself or to
v v v v v v v v v v v v
others.‖v re
ANS: D
When a person is unable to cognitively process information or to make
vv vv vv vv vv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv vvv
decisions about his or her own welfare, the person may be determined to

Providing self-care is not the only criteria considered. Age is not a factor
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
considered. Thedecision is often based on the potential for such behavior.
