  need the medicine and the blood tests.
 
  I was in the hospital twice for a few days a year or so ago.

  bored and I do not have any friends. The nurse should plan to refer the client to (more than one
  answer may be correct)

  C. social skills training.
  D. a homeless shelter.

Answer to Question 1

A, C
Rationale: The client does not understand his illness and the need for adherence to the medication
regimen. Psychoeducation for the client (and family) can address this lack of knowledge. The client,
who considers himself friendless, could also profit from social skills training to improve the quality
of interpersonal relationships. Many clients with severe mental illness have such poor
communication skills that others are uncomfortable interacting with them. Interactional skills can be
effectively taught by breaking the skill down into smaller verbal and nonverbal components. Option
B: The nurse case manager will function in the role of crisis stabilizer. Option E: The client
presently has a home and does not require the services of a homeless shelter.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A passive-aggressive person deals with emotional conflict by indirectly and unassertively expressing
aggression toward others. Compliance on the surface masks covert resistance. Resistance is
expressed through procrastination, inefficiency, and stubbornness in response to assigned tasks.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
