A student nurse mutters that it seems entirely unnecessary to have to struggle with understanding the anatomy and physiology of the neurologic system. The mentor would base a response on the understanding that it is:
1. Not necessary for psychiatric nurses who focus primarily on behavioral interven-tion
2. A complex undertaking that nurses seldom use in their practice
3. Important for nursing assessment, but not relevant during treatment
4. Necessary for planning psychiatric care
Question 2
A client asks the nurse, My wife has breast cancer. Could it be caused by too much stress? The nurse responds with the knowledge that:
1. Too much stress causes all kinds of cancer
2. There are really no research findings about stress and disease yet
3. Stress causes the release of factors that suppress the immune system
4. There is no connection between stress and diseases of the body
