Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Deviant religious beliefs and behavior are not generally labeled as mental disorders unless the deviance is a symptom of dysfunction. Thoughts of harming self or others, emotional distress, and a loss of interest in usual pleasurable activities and commitments are relevant and meet the generally accepted definition of a mental disorder.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Mental disorders are identified, standardized, and categorized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). All members of the health care team use this reference. A psychiatric nursing care plan manual is a reference for nursing care and a dictionary will offer only a general definition. Standards of Psychiatric Nursing Practice outlines nursing responsibilities, but does not apply to clients or other members of the multidisciplinary health care team.
