A nurse is preparing a paper for a conference on mental illness nursing throughout history. How does she present the concept of a curative point as a shift in the treatment of the mentally ill?
1. It envisioned the possibility of recovery in mental illness.
2. It incorporated herbal remedies in the treatment of mental illness.
3. It was the first treatment to provide specific treatment interventions.
4. It was the first treatment focused on the humane treatment of individuals with mental illness.
Answer: 1
Explanation: Although treatment that emphasized a curative point may have had some more humane aspects that were absent from some earlier treatments for mental illness, humane treatment was not the most essential element incorporated in this concept. Belief in a curative point presented the possibility that those with mental illness could actually improve rather than just be maintained. The curative point did not emphasize specific interventions, nor did it advocate specific herbal remedies.
