The client of Asian extraction asks the nurse why the client's own dose of antipsychotic medication is effective yet so much lower than other clients who are mostly from European extraction. Which nursing response is correct?
 
  1. People of Asian extraction have higher expressed emotionality leading to better prognosis and lower dosages.
  2. Often people of Asian extraction have lower metabolic rates and need lower amounts of medication.
  3. There is no correlation between ethnic background and the amount of medication someone receives.
  4. People of European extraction have more side effects from medication than do those of Asian extraction.

Question 2

When collecting family interactional data, the nurse knows to ask:
 
  1. How do the actions of your family worsen your symptoms of schizophrenia?
  2. Since you have been in the hospital, who is taking care of your children?
  3. How often do you shop for nutritional items for your family?
  4. What do you buy when you shop at the local market?

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: People of Asian extraction do have lower metabolic rates, show more side effects, and often have lower doses of medication than do people of European extraction. Research has shown that higher expressed emotionality leads to a poorer prognosis and is not characteristic of people from an Asian extraction.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Family interactional data is probably the most complex data to obtain. It is important to determine family alliances and family supports. Information about shopping habits is not part of the interactional data. Implying that the family causes or affects the client's mental illness reflects the nurse's bias.
