Sample Question:


Q. A patient presents with a sudden onset of severe headache, nausea, and photophobia. The psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner suspects a subarachnoid hemorrhage and performs an advanced assessment. Which technique is essential for assessing meningeal irritation?

o Kernig's sign

o Babinski reflex

o Romberg test

o Brudzinski's sign

Answer: D.

Explanation: Both Kernig's and Brudzinski's signs are used to assess meningeal irritation, but in this case, Kernig's sign is the most essential. Kernig's sign is elicited by flexing the patient's hip and knee to 90 degrees, then attempting to extend the knee. Resistance to knee extension and pain in the neck or back suggests meningeal irritation, often seen in subarachnoid hemorrhage or meningitis.

Q. A 40-year-old patient with a history of suicide attempts presents to the clinic in crisis. The nurse practitioner's priority intervention is to:

a. Refer the patient to a psychiatrist.

b. Perform a detailed psychiatric evaluation.

c. Provide information about community support groups.

d. Encourage the patient to engage in recreational activities.

Answer: B.

Explanation: In a crisis situation involving a patient with a history of suicide attempts, the priority intervention is to perform a detailed psychiatric evaluation. This assessment aims to determine the patient's current risk of suicide, identify contributing factors, and develop an immediate safety plan. A comprehensive evaluation is essential to guide appropriate interventions and ensure the patient's safety.
