00:01
The nurses making rounds for for
clients in a mental health unit.
00:06
Which client shows symptoms of
dissociative identity disorder?
All right,
we've got just two sentences,
but let's break it down.
00:14
First sentence. The nurse got that
is making rounds for, four clients.
00:20
Where are we?
In a mental health unit.
00:23
So these people
are admitted for help.
00:26
So I'm a nurse making rounds,
four clients, mental health unit,
which client shows symptoms of
dissociative identity disorder.
00:35
So it's really not
asking me to prioritize.
00:37
Its asking me to look
for the client
that is exhibiting symptoms
of this diagnosis.
00:43
Ready? All right.
Write down your numbers.
00:46
Number one, number two,
number three, and number four.
00:49
Just the numbers
on your practice sheet.
00:51
As you're working through the
answer choices on your own,
be sure to eliminate
three of them and say why?
Now before you pause it,
remember the topic of the question.
01:03
Which of these clients
shows symptoms
of dissociative identity disorder?
Be sure to ask yourself
that question, four times
for each answer option
as you're moving
through the question.
01:15
I'll see you back
and as much time as it takes
for you to get your best answer.
01:27
Welcome back.
01:28
All right,
thank you for doing the work.
01:31
Pausing the video and wrestling
with the right answer choices.
01:35
That is what's going to help you
improve your skills.
01:38
Just listening to me walk through
the question isn't enough.
01:42
You need to listen to
what we're talking about.
01:44
And then practice,
try it on your own.
01:47
That's what's going
to help your brain
get in the best shape possible
for taking tests exams.
01:52
And you're going to
see an improvement
in your exam performance.
01:56
So let's look at these.
01:57
We're looking for dissociative
identity disorder, right?
All right. So number one.
02:02
The client who is crying,
that's not normal.
02:05
And states,
"I want to stay in the room."
Well, that's sad, but likely
more a sign of depression, right?
So that's not
dissociative identity disorder.
02:17
Now, as you're
walking through this,
that's a diagnosis,
dissociative identity disorder.
02:23
Did you think through,
"What what does that really mean?"
Remember, that's when a person
has more than one personality,
and they are unaware of each other.
02:33
The personalities do not
know about the other one.
02:36
They don't remember things.
02:38
So number one,
that isn't a symptom.
02:41
That isn't a sign of that DID or
Dissociative Identity Disorder.
02:46
Number two.
So we've crossed out number one.
02:48
Number two. The client who says,
"Check on me later.
I must take another shower."
Is that sound like DID?
No. That could be like some
obsessive compulsive behavior,
but it's not DID.
03:03
So we're going to
cross off number two.
03:06
Number three.
03:07
The client who was
looking into a corner,
talking quietly onto their self.
Looks at the nurse and says,
"Wait. Okay, so I have a client,
who's looking into the corner,
Doesn't tell me
there's another person there
talking quietly to their self,
looks at the nurse and says,
"Wait, is that
dissociative identity disorder?"
No, this looks like someone
who could be having a delusion.
03:36
This might be schizophrenia?
Well, I hope it's number four,
because I've eliminated number one,
number two, and number three.
03:44
But you know the rule, don't
stop and just circle that answer.
03:48
Play it all the way to the end.
03:50
So let's take a look. Number four.
03:52
Is this
dissociative identity disorder?
If the client who says
to the nurse,
"You must be in the wrong room?
My name is not Ann."
Yes, of these four statements,
that seems to be
the most indicative
of someone who's experiencing
dissociative identity disorder.
04:12
Okay, time to reflect.
04:14
How'd you do?
Did you get this question right?
Did you miss it on this time?
Were you close?
Hey, these are the things
I want you to think about.
04:23
If you picked a different
answer than number four, why?
What tripped you up?
Did you follow the steps where
you knew the topic of the question
and you asked yourself
that question,
in your own words,
four separate times
and made a decision
on whether that answer
should stay in or be crossed out.
04:42
If you did all that,
and you got to the wrong answer,
you know what to do.
04:47
Figure out what tripped you up?
What knowledge you may not have had?
And add it to your notebook so
you can keep reviewing that later.
04:55
If you got the correct
answer, how did you get there?
Did you use the same process?
Did you ask yourself that question
all the way through options
1, 2, 3, and finally, four.
05:08
Now, remember, we don't care
what order you do it in.
05:10
Sometimes when I'm bored,
I just start in the middle.
05:14
But what matters is that
I hold myself accountable
to either cross the answer off,
the number off on my answer sheet
and say why?
That's what I have to do
for every answer.
05:26
Don't just gravitate to
an answer that I like.
05:30
I want to eliminate
them one by one.
05:32
I promise doing the work.
05:34
Being systematic, being consistent,
and how you answer these questions.
05:39
You are going to do better
on your very next exam.
