Incorrect
  1. A.Decreased need for sleep without fatigue
  2. B.Pressured, difficult-to-interrupt speech
  3. C.Flight of ideas
  4. D.Increased need for reassurance
  5. E.Symptoms must persist for one month

Sleepless energy, pressured speech, and racing ideas make the picture. The duration pick was the error — mania needs one week (or any length with hospitalization), not a month.

During a suicide risk screening, which findings raise acute concern? Select all that apply.

Incorrect
  1. A.A specific plan with a chosen time
  2. B.Access to lethal means
  3. C.Giving away valued possessions
  4. D.Strong stated reasons for living
  5. E.A prior attempt in the past year

Plan, means, and history are the loud flags. Giving away possessions is the quiet one — it should have been selected. Reasons for living cut the other way; they're protective.

Which domains belong in a mental status exam? Select all that apply.

Correct
  1. A.Appearance and behavior
  2. B.Mood and affect
  3. C.Thought process and content
  4. D.Complete childhood history
  5. E.Orientation and cognition

The MSE is a snapshot of right now: presentation, mood, thinking, cognition. The childhood history matters — in the psychosocial assessment, not here.

Understand why,
not only what.
