"I have heard that abusers think of themselves as important and have high self-esteem."

"I know that men who are abusers gain power through intimidation."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

choice C, "I have heard that abusers think of themselves as important and have high self-esteem." This statement is incorrect and shows the nurse may need further education on the characteristics of an abuser. Abusers often lack self-esteem and feel powerless, using abuse as a way to gain control and confidence. Choices A, B, and D are all accurate statements and do not indicate the need for further education.

For choice A, abusers often isolate their partner to gain control over them. For choice B, abusers may lack social support and social skills, leading to violent behavior.

For choice D, abusers use intimidation tactics to maintain power in the relationship.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

"The client learns to change negative thoughts into positive statements." This demonstrates the effective use of cognitive reframing, which involves changing negative thoughts into positive self-talk. This strategy can help to reduce stress and improve coping skills.

Choice A, "The client imagines being in a quiet, relaxing environment," is not an example of cognitive reframing, but rather an example of visualization, which can also be useful in reducing stress.

Choice B, "The client trains his mind to relax by using deep inner resources," is not an example of cognitive reframing, but rather an example of relaxation training.

Choice D, "The client learns the source of his stress by writing down daily events," is not an example of cognitive reframing, but rather an example of stress management through self-reflection.

A. Whether the client is financially incapable of paying for prescribed medications. B. Whether the client is a danger to herself or others. C. Whether the client is unable to make arrangements to stay with someone. D. Whether the client is unwilling to accept that treatment is needed.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Whether the client is a danger to herself or others. When a client is involuntarily admitted to a mental health unit, they are held for an initial period of 72 hours for evaluation and treatment. Afterward, a determination must be made as to whether or not the client is still a danger to themselves or others to keep them in the hospital.

Choices A, C, and D do not address the primary concern of ongoing safety for the client and others.

For choice A, the client's financial status or their ability to pay for prescribed medications is not relevant to their safety or need for hospitalization.

For choice C, the client's ability to make arrangements to stay with someone is important for discharge planning but not for determining their need for ongoing hospitalization.

Finally, for choice D, whether the client is unwilling to accept treatment is important, but not the sole determining factor as to whether they are a danger to themselves or others.
