A nurse educator is teaching a group of students the definition of a mentally healthy individual
The nurse educator knows that an individual is considered mentally healthy when which of the following concepts give evidence to psychological, emotional, and social health? 1. Behavior
2. Intrapersonal relationships
3. Gender
4. Age
5. Interpersonal relationships
1
Rationale: In general we consider an individual to be mentally healthy when what that person does (the person's behavior), how that person relates to others (the person's interpersonal relationships between oneself and others), and how that person relates to him- or herself (the person's intrapersonal relationships within the mind or the self) give evidence of psychological, emotional, and social health. There is no evidence that age and gender play a role in defining a mentally healthy individual.
