  possibility of having her needs met.

  personal goals.

Question 2

The nurse reading a client's medical record determines that the client's relationships with both men
  and women tend to be intense and unstable, with the client initially idealizing the significant other
  and then devaluing him or her when the
 
  individual does not meet the client's needs. Furthermore, the
  client experiences feelings of emptiness and resorts to self-mutilation. The aspect of mental health
  the nurse can assess as lacking is
  a. effectiveness in work.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hearing voices is generally associated with mental illness; however, in charismatic religious groups,
hearing the voice of God or a prophet is a desirable event. In this situation cultural norms vary,
making it more difficult to make an accurate DSM-IV-TR diagnosis. The individuals described in the
other options are less likely to be labeled as mentally ill.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The information given centers on relationships with others, which are described as intense and
unstable. The relationships of mentally healthy individuals are stable, satisfying, and socially
integrated. Data are not present to describe work effectiveness, communication skills, or activities
(options A, B, and C).
