Which individual diagnosed with a mental illness may need involuntary hospitalization? An individual:
 
  a. who has a panic attack after her child gets lost in a shopping mall
  b. with visions of demons emerging from cemetery plots throughout the community
  c. who takes 38 acetaminophen tablets after the person's stock portfolio becomes worthless
  d. diagnosed with major depression who stops taking prescribed antidepressant medication

Question 2

An aide in a psychiatric hospital says to the nurse, We don't have time every day to help each patient complete a menu selection. Let's tell dietary to prepare popular choices and send them to our unit. Select the nurse's best response.
 
  a. Thanks for the suggestion, but that idea may not work because so many patients take MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) antidepressants.
  b. Thanks for the idea, but it's important to treat patients as individuals. Giving choices is one way we can respect patients' individuality.
  c. Thank you for the suggestion, but the patients' bill of rights requires us to allow patients to select their own diet.
  d. Thank you. That is a very good idea. It will make meal preparation easier for the dietary department.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Involuntary hospitalization protects patients who are dangerous to themselves or others and cannot care for their own basic needs. Involuntary hospitalization also protects other individuals in society. An overdose of acetaminophen indicates dangerousness to self. The behaviors described in the other options are not sufficient to require involuntary hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The nurse's response to the aide should recognize patients' rights to be treated with dignity and respect as well as promote autonomy. This response also shows respect for the aide and fulfills the nurse's obligation to provide supervision of unlicensed personnel. The incorrect responses have flawed rationale or do not respect patients as individuals.
