One of the two fundamental dimensions of positive mental health is to develop skills enabling the adolescent to be involved in activities that are purposeful and meaningful.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

When you perform your nursing assessment on your medical acute-care client, she seems calm and relaxed. She readily discusses her medical condition and concerns and asks you questions.

You refer her to discuss these issues in more depth with her provider. The next day you discover that she said, I just couldn't open my mouth to say anything when the provider came in with all those medical students. Your next intervention is MOST appropriately to: a. do nothing, because the client will eventually get used to all the medical students and talk to the provider without further intervention on your part
b. refer the client for a psychiatric diagnostic workup
c. relieve the client of this chore by relaying the client's questions and concerns to the provider
d. assess the client for social anxiety disorder

Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

D
The most appropriate response would be to assess the client for social anxiety disorders. Social anxiety disorder is a disorder in which a person has a strong and irrational fear of social situations (often involving strangers). It is one of the most common anxiety disorders in the United States. In this case, the client has been able to talk to the nurse with whom she has established a rapport with. However, when a large number of people, most of whom she doesn't know, are present (the medical students), her anxiety manifests itself.
