The home health nurse is caring for a number of clients with chronic illnesses. Given World Health Organization (WHO) research, the nurse realizes that the client with which of the following is at greatest risk for mental disability?
 
  1. Bipolar disorder
  2. Panic disorder
  3. Psychotic disorders
  4. Anxiety disorders

Question 2

The client is being discharged from an inpatient facility. The nurse explains that part of the outpatient treatment will be to take part in group therapy because it provides a structure for:
 
  1. Supporting clients on a regular basis.
  2. Trying out old and new ways of acting and reacting.
  3. Using health care benefits in new and exciting ways.
  4. Supporting clients and families.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Bipolar disorder ranks as number six on the list of top 10 causes of mental disability worldwide. The terms anxiety disorders and psychotic disorders reflect general categories of mental disorders and could constitute a number of more specific disorders not on the list. While panic disorder is classified as an anxiety disorder, it is not on the WHO list of the top 10 causes of mental disability worldwide.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Group therapy provides an interpersonal testing ground that allows members to try out old and new ways of being in an environment specifically structured for that purpose. Group therapy may, indeed, provide support for clients and families on a regular basis, but the emphasis is to provide a structured environment for the client to experiment with new behaviors. Using health care benefits is not a reason to participate in group therapy.
