Chapter 1 Framework of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing 1) A staff member who is unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is overheard saying that a patient with a mental illness is not really "sick." Which response should the nurse make to the UAP? 1. "Patients with mental illness believe they are ill." 2. "A mental illness disrupts thinking and daily functioning." 3. "Mental illnesses are more debilitating than physical illnesses." 4. "Since so few people have mental illnesses, it really does not matter." Answer: 2 Explanation: 2. A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning. The response that patients with mental illness believe they are ill is not accurate or therapeutic. Mental illnesses are not always more debilitating than physical illnesses. Many individuals are affected by mental illness. Page Ref: 3 Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need/Sub: Psychosocial Integrity Standards: QSEN Competencies: I.C.1.
