Epidemiology: A) Helps promote understanding of the patterns of occurrence associated with mental disorders. B) Helps explain research findings about the neurophysiology that causes mental disorders. C) Provides a thorough theoretical explanation of why specific mental disorders occur. D) Predicts when a specific psychiatric client will recover from a specific mental disorder.

A nurse is working in a community mental health center that provides care to a large population of people of Asian descent. When developing programs for this community, which of the following would be most important for the nurse to address? A) Public stigma B) Self-stigma C) Label avoidance D) Negative life events Ans: C Chapter: 1 Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity Cognitive Level: Understand Integrated Process: Nursing Process Objective: 5 Page Number: 4 Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so as not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with mental health problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of mental illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the symptoms or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone, not just those of the Asian culture. 3. A nursing student is assigned to care for a client diagnosed with schizophrenia.

A) Rate B) Prevalence C) Point prevalence D) Incidence Ans: D Chapter: 1 Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity Cognitive Level: Apply Integrated Process: Nursing Process Objective: 4 Page Number: 3 Feedback: The article is describing incidence, which refers to a rate that includes only new cases that have occurred within a clearly defined time period.
