The spouse of a psychiatric patient says, This mental illness should not have happened
 
  I tried to teach the importance of professing faith in God and getting converts, but my partner rejected them. Those practices keep me well. It's the only way to live. The nurse can assess that the spouse is demonstrating:
  a. atheism.
  b. humanism.
  c. agnosticism.
  d. sick religiosity.

Question 2

The spouse of a patient with panic attacks tells the nurse, I am afraid my husband has a permanent disorder and will have many hospitalizations in the future
 
  I wonder how I will be able to raise our children alone. The nurse's reply should be based on knowledge of:
  a. psychopathology.
  b. milieu management.
  c. psychopharmacology.
  d. nursing relationship therapy.

Answer to Question 1

D
Sick religiosity is marked by a lack of openness to other possibilities, a sense of exclusiveness, and absolutism. The scenario does not give evidence of any of the other options.

Answer to Question 2

A
An understanding of psychopathology will enable the nurse to communicate reassurance to the spouse regarding the treatment of panic attacks in an outpatient setting.
