Chapter 11: The Recovery Model
Multiple Choice
A nursing instructor is teaching about recovery as it applies to mental illness. Which student
statement indicates that further teaching is needed?
1.
2.
3.
4.

“The goal of recovery is improved health and wellness.”
“The goal of recovery is expedient, comprehensive behavioral change.”
“The goal of recovery is the ability to live a self-directed life.”

Rationale: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines
recovery from mental health disorders and substance use disorders as a process of change
through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive
to reach their full potential. Change in recovery is not an expedient process. It occurs
incrementally over time.

placement.
5. A psychiatrist prescribes an antipsychotic drug based on observed symptoms.
6. A client diagnosed with schizophrenia schedules follow-up appointments and group
therapy.

social networks, recovery is culturally based and influenced, recovery is supported by addressing
trauma, recovery involves individual, family, and community strengths and responsibility,
recovery is based on respect. Recovery emerges from hope but affiliation with any particular

religion would have little bearing on the recovery process.

9. A client experiences an exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms to the point of threatening
self-harm. Which action step of the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) model
should be employed, and what action reflects this step?
10. Step 3: Triggers that cause distress or discomfort are listed.
11. Step 4: Signs indicating relapse are identified and plans for responding are developed.
12. Step 5: A specific plan to help with symptoms is formulated.
13. Step 6: Following client-designed plan, caregivers now become decision-makers.

ANS: 4
Rationale: The WRAP recovery model is a step-wise process through which an individual is able
to monitor and manage distressing symptoms that occur in daily life. The six steps include: Step
1. Develop a Wellness Toolbox; Step 2. Daily Maintenance List; Step 3. Triggers; Step 4. Early
Warning Signs; Step 5. Things Are Breaking Down or Getting Worse; Step 6. Crisis Planning. In
step 6 (Crisis Planning) clients can no longer care for themselves, make independent decisions,
or keep themselves safe. Caregivers take an active role in this step on behalf of the client and
implement the plan that the client has previously developed. All other actions presented require
the client to be functionally capable.

10. A nursing instructor is teaching about components present in the recovery process as
described by Andresen and associates that led to the development of the Psychological

Recovery Model. Which student statement indicates that further teaching is needed?
11. “A client has a better chance of recovery if he or she truly believes that recovery can
occur.”
12. “If a client is willing to give the responsibility of treatment to the health-care team, they
are likely to recover.”
13. “A client who has a positive sense of self and a positive identity is likely to recover.”
14. “A client has a better chance of recovery if he or she has purpose and meaning in life.”

ANS: 2
Rationale: In examining a number of studies, Andresen and associates identified four
components that were consistently evident in the recovery process. These components are hope,
responsibility, self and identity, and meaning and purpose. Under responsibility, this model tasks
the client, not the health-care team, with taking responsibility for his or her life and well-being.

11. A client states, “My illness is so devastating, I feel like my life is on hold.” The nurse
recognizes that this client is in which stage of the Psychological Recovery Model as
described by Andersen and associates?
12. Moratorium
13. Awareness
14. Preparation
15. Rebuilding


ANS: 1
Rationale: Andresen and associates have conceptualized a five-stage model of recovery called
the Psychological Recovery Model. The stages include: Stage 1: Moratorium, Stage 2:
Awareness, Stage 3: Preparation, Stage 4: Rebuilding, and Stage 5: Growth. The moratorium

stage is identified by dark despair and confusion. It is called moratorium, because it seems that
“life is on hold.”

12. A client states, “I have come to the conclusion that this disease has not paralyzed me.”
The nurse recognizes that this client is in which stage of the Psychological Recovery
Model as described by Andersen and associates?
13. Moratorium
14. Awareness
15. Preparation
16. Rebuilding

ANS: 2
Rationale: Andresen and associates have conceptualized a five-stage model of recovery called
the Psychological Recovery Model. The stages include: Stage 1: Moratorium, Stage 2:
Awareness, Stage 3: Preparation, Stage 4: Rebuilding, and Stage 5: Growth. In the awareness
stage, the individual comes to a realization that a possibility for recovery exists. Andresen and
associates state, “It involves an awareness of a possible self other than that of ‘sick person’: a
self that is capable of recovery.”

Rationale: Andresen and associates have conceptualized a five-stage model of recovery called
the Psychological Recovery Model. The stages include: Stage 1: Moratorium, Stage 2:
Awareness, Stage 3: Preparation, Stage 4: Rebuilding, and Stage 5: Growth. In the growth stage,
the individual feels a sense of optimism and hope of a rewarding future. Skills that have been
nurtured in the previous stages are applied with confidence, and the individual strives for higher
levels of well-being.
