When focusing on developing new theories in nursing, what is most important for nurses to know?
 
  1. Recognize that most theories cannot be modified.
  2. Research helps with behavioral observation in multicultural groups.
  3. Most people with mental disorders never seek professional treatment.
  4. Acknowledge vulnerability of the mental health community.

Question 2

A nurse interviews a client with a diagnosis of both a psychiatric disorder and a substance use disorder. Dual diagnosis will:
 
  1. Demand that the substance use disorder be prioritized.
  2. Demand that the psychiatric disorder be prioritized.
  3. Complicate the clinical picture as both diagnoses have to be addressed.
  4. Have little or no impact on the plan of care.

Research may contribute to the development of more inclusive theories to account for behaviors observed in multicultural groups.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Dual diagnosis will complicate the clinical picture and require that staff from both specialties work together to provide optimal care. Both disorders will be addressed equally.
