Which underlying concept should a nurse associate with interpersonal theory when assessing a client?
 
  1. The effects of social processes on personality development
  2. The effects of unconscious processes and personality structures
  3. The effects on thoughts and perceptual processes
  4. The effects of chemical and genetic influences

Question 2

A client, who is taking transdermal selegiline (Emsam) for depressive symptoms, states, My physician told me there was no need to worry about dietary restrictions. Which would be the most appropriate nursing response?
 
  1. Because your dose of Emsam is 6 mg in 24 hours, dietary restrictions are not recommended.
  2. You must have misunderstood. An MAOI like Emsam always has dietary restrictions.
  3. Only oral MAOIs require dietary restrictions.
  4. All transdermal MAOIs do not require dietary modifications.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse should associate interpersonal theory with the underlying concept of effects of social process on personality development. Sullivan developed stages of personality development based on his theory of interpersonal relationships and their effect on personality and individual behavior.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Selegiline is a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI). Hypertensive crisis, caused by the ingestion of foods high in tyramine, has not shown to be a problem with selegiline transdermal system at the 6 mg/24 hr dosage, and dietary restrictions at this dose are not recommended. Dietary modifications are recommended, however, at the 9 mg/24 hr and 12 mg/24 hr dosages.
