A group of nursing students are reviewing information about Freud?s personality structure. The students demonstrate understanding of this information when they identify the ability to form mutually satisfying relationships as a function of which of the following?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: D
Rationale
The ability to form mutually satisfying relationships is a function of the Ego.
The Ego mediates between the desires of the Id and the moral constraints of the Superego, enabling individuals to navigate social interactions and establish healthy relationships while balancing personal needs and societal expectations.
A: Defense mechanisms. These are strategies the Ego employs to protect itself from anxiety, not directly related to forming relationships.
B: Unconscious. This refers to thoughts and memories hidden from awareness, which do not directly influence the ability to create satisfying interpersonal connections.
C: Id. The Id operates on primal desires and impulses, lacking the capacity for considering social relationships or the well-being of others.

A patient is being discharged from the psychiatric unit this afternoon, and the nurse needs to teach the patient about discharge medications. The patient is exhibiting signs of moderate anxiety about the upcoming discharge. Based on Peplau?s views regarding anxiety, the nurse would expect to implement the teaching plan at which time?
Correct!
Incorrect
The correct answer is: B
Rationale
When his anxiety decreases to a mild level. Peplau's theory suggests that teaching is most effective when anxiety is low but not absent. At a mild anxiety level, patients are more receptive and able to comprehend information, facilitating better understanding and retention of discharge medication instructions.
A: When his anxiety stabilizes at its current level. Teaching during moderate anxiety may hinder the patient's ability to process information effectively and retain critical details about medications.
C: When he is completely free of anxiety. Waiting for total absence of anxiety is impractical and unrealistic, as complete calm may not occur, delaying essential education and discharge preparedness.
D: When his anxiety escalates to the panic level. Panic significantly impairs cognitive function and comprehension, making it an unsuitable time for any teaching regarding medications or discharge instructions.
