A newly admitted client in a psychiatric inpatient unit, states, I attempted suicide because that is the only way I can get away from him. The client is in a severely abusive relationship and fears for her life.
 
  The client's husband sends flowers to the unit and a card asking her to come back, but takes no responsibility for his behavior. How should a nurse interpret the husband's behavior in relation to Walker's Cycle of Battering?
  A) Phase I: The Tension-Building Phase
  B) Phase II: The Acute Battering Incident
  C) Phase III: The Honeymoon Phase
  D) Phase IV: The Forgiveness Phase

Question 2

A nurse is planning a unit education with staff about vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in the field of psychiatry.
 
  The nurse would conclude that patients with which type of disorder would be most likely to benefit from this therapy, given current evidence? a. Depression
  b. Anxiety disorders
  c. Sleep disorders
  d. Addiction disorders

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
The most compelling use of VNS in psychiatry is in the treatment of affective disorders, particularly depression. Because the vagus nerve has many functions, it should be studied in the future for other conditions, such as anxiety disorders, obesity, chronic pain syndromes, addictions, and sleep disorders.
