Immune system

Answer and Explanation

A. Adverse effects of treatment for mental health disorders can impact the client's well-being and quality of life but they are not typically considered risk factors for developing mental illness. B Medication adherence refers to the extent to which a client follows the prescribed treatment regimen. Poor adherence does not increase the risk for mental illness

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

B. An individual with anorexia nervosa often experiences fear or anxiety surrounding certain foods, particularly those perceived as high in calories or fat. This fear may lead to restrictive eating patterns and avoidance of certain food groups.

A. The primary motivation for restricting food intake is typically driven by factors such as fear of weight gain or body dissatisfaction, rather than simply disliking the taste of food.

C. They often meticulously monitor food intake and may keep detailed records of calorie consumption. Therefore, the statement about not tracking calories is less consistent with typical behaviors seen in anorexia nervosa.

D. People with anorexia nervosa often restrict their calorie intake well below recommended levels for maintaining health, and 2,000 calories per day would be considered a relatively high amount of food for someone with this disorder.

A. Anabolic steroids B. Opioids C. Stimulants D. Hallucinogens

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

D. The client's symptoms, including paranoia, perceptual disturbances (such as seeing things that aren't there), erratic behavior, and disorientation, are consistent with the effects of hallucinogens. Hallucinogens are a class of drugs that alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes.

A. Anabolic steroids are synthetic variations of the male sex hormone testosterone. They are primarily used to promote muscle growth and enhance athletic performance.

B Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription pain relievers, such as oxycodone and morphine, as well as illegal drugs like heroin.

C. Stimulants, such as cocaine and amphetamines, can cause symptoms such as paranoia, agitation, and hallucinations, particularly at high doses or with chronic use. However, the client's symptoms of darting eyes, paranoia, yelling, mumbling, and gesturing are more suggestive of hallucinogen use rather than stimulant use.
