The nurse is conducting a psychosocial assessment of a client who is being evaluated for a mental illness. The nurse inquires about the client's family life because:
 
  1. the family made the client ill.
  2. influence by the family is not important.
  3. the nurse needs to assess the client's support system.
  4. the nurse needs to understand the financial system of the family.

Question 2

A client has been referred for a mental health evaluation by the client's workplace because of weird behavior that is interpreted as mental illness. The nurse should ask about the client's culture and religious beliefs because:
 
  1. the workplace is prejudiced.
  2. what is normal in one culture might not be in another.
  3. the client exhibits anger.
  4. religions cause mental illness.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. The family situation could contribute to the client's illness, but did not make the client ill.
2. The family can and does influence the client's response to life.
3. The nurse assesses the strengths and support system of the mentally ill client.
4. The financial system of the family is a consideration, but not mainly the concern of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. The workplace might truly believe the client is outside the normal expected behavior.
2. People of different cultures and religious beliefs do behave differently, and what is considered normal in one culture might be considered abnormal in another. The nurse needs to investigate this with the client.
3. Anger does not mean the client is mentally ill.
4. Religions do not cause mental illness; the client has to have the capability to be ill. However, some religions might dispose the client to wrong thinking due to indoctrination. That does not mean the client is mentally ill.
