1. The nurse is assessing the factors contributing to the well-being of a newly
admitted client. Which of the following would the nurse identify as having
a positive impact on the individual's mental health?
A) Not needing others for companionship
B) The ability to effectively manage stress
C) A family history of mental illness
D) Striving for total self-reliance
Ans B
Feedback:
Individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup,
autonomy, independence, self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability
to find meaning in life, emotional resilience or hardiness, sense of
belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress management abilities.
Interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and
connectedness are both needed for good mental health, and therefore a
healthy person would need others for companionship. A family history of
mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an individual, which
may have a negative impact on an individual's mental health, as well as a
negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and social–cultural factors
of health. Total self-reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural
factor is access to adequate resources.
