The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Text-revised, 5th Edition (DSM-5) is utilized by professionals to diagnose psychiatric disorders. Unlike previous versions of the DSM, it does not use a multi-axis model for diagnosis. Which DSM-IV-TR axis had its criteria modified and included in the DSM-5, but not in the list of disorders?

  1. Axis I
  2. Axis III
  3. Axis IV
  4. Axis V

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The criteria of Axis IV were modified and included in the DSM-5 as psychosocial and other contextual issues with significant bearing on the well-being of the patient. Axes I and III were folded in with Axis II in the list of disorders. Axis V was dropped completely.



The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention states that up to 50% of all people who commit suicide have had failed past attempts. Traumatic life events that cause a significant amount of stress and clinical depression are known to be major risk factors behind for suicide. Which of the following is not likely to be a risk factor for suicide?

  1. Family history of mental disorder
  2. Incarceration
  3. Chronic physical illness
  4. Family diversity

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Research shows that 90% of all suicides were by individuals suffering from clinical depression or other mental disorders. Substance abuse is usually an additional factor to an already unstable diagnosis. Warning signs that someone is contemplating suicide may include: risk-taking behavior, talking about death, changing a will, and losing interest in things one cares about. Family diversity has not been shown to be a significant issue related to suicide.



Alyson was recently given a promotion at work that has increased the caseload of clients she sees on a daily basis. Long hours have led to conflicts with her family life at home. Alyson feels frustrated and pressured, but needs the extra money. Also, if she asks for a demotion, this would reduce her social status within the employment agency. Alyson is currently dealing with what kind of stress?

  1. Conflict resolution
  2. Developmental
  3. Biopsychosocial
  4. Homeostasis

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The biopsychosocial model of stress involves events within the environment that lead to the recognition of stress. Common stressors in this model fall within four main topics: work, social/family, personal and the environment. Biopsychosocial stress affects self-esteem, social status, and self-worth.



A clinical social worker is providing services to a woman diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She experiences frequent manic episodes that include motor hyperactivity, elation, poor judgment, pressured speech and hostility. To try and bring about normalization of symptoms, what is the best choice for medication?

  1. Effexor
  2. Citalopram
  3. Adderall
  4. Lithium

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Lithium is used as an anti-mania medication for individuals suffering from Affective Disorder, Bipolar, and Mania. Studies have demonstrated that lithium alters sodium transport in muscle and nerve cells. Patients given this medication will feel relief of symptoms and demonstrate normalcy within 1 to 3 weeks. A drug more commonly prescribed is Depakote, due to the need for ongoing blood level tests with Lithium. Antidepressants can trigger mania and do not work very well.

For passing your exam in a very easy way this is the right material and product. If you want to learn the subjects, I suggest books or online courses. They are time-consuming but you learn in-dept. I passed my exam with the help of these questions and answers.

Being a full time mom does not leave much time for studying. So I resorted to this braindumps questions and answers. With a 20% discount offer the price of $31 is well worth saving so much time. I managed to pass the exam with 78% mark. Now I have my certificate and don't have to worry for the whole year.

Well, the content is okay. It helped me with the exam but it is better you study outside these brain dumps if you want to learn the topics. Using this braindumps will only help you pass. It does not teach you much.
