36
Q

They reviewed the texts for cultural influences on disorder characteristics, incorporating relevant information in the sections on culture-related diagnostic issues (19 experts in cultural psychiatry, psychology, and anthropology).

A

Cross-cutting review committee on cultural issues

37
Q

They reviewed references to race, ethnicity, and related concepts to avoid perpetuating stereotypes or including discriminatory clinical information (10 mental health practitioners from diverse ethnic and racialized backgrounds).

A

Ethnoracial equity and inclusion work group

38
Q

To assist trained clinicians in the diagnosis of mental disorders as part of a case formulation assessment that leads to an informed treatment plan for each individual.

A

Primary purpose of DSM-5

39
Q

It involves a careful clinical history and concise summary of the social, psychological, and biological factors that may have contributed to developing a given mental disorder. Its goal is to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is informed by the individual’s cultural and social context.

A

(Clinical) case formulation

40
Q

(T/F) It is enough to simply check off the symptoms in the diagnostic criteria to make a mental disorder diagnosis.

A

False, a thorough evaluation of these criteria may assure more reliable assessment.

41
Q

(T/F) Diagnosis requires clinical training to recognize when the combination of predisposing, precipitating, and protective factors has resulted in a psychopathological condition in which the signs and symptoms exceed normal ranges.

A

True

42
Q

It is offered as guidelines for making diagnoses, and their use should be informed by clinical judgment. It does not fully describe the full range of mental disorders that individuals experiences and present to clinicians.

A

“other specified” or “unspecified”

44
Q

They are provided for increased diagnostic specificity and they provide an opportunity to define a more homogeneous subgrouping of individuals with the disorder who share certain features and to convey information that is relevant to the management of the individual’s disorder.

A

Subtypes and specifiers

45
Q

They define mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive phenomenological sub-groupings within a diagnosis. They are indicated by the instruction “specify whether” in the criteria set.

A

Subtypes

46
Q

They are not intended to be mutually exclusive or jointly exhaustive, as a consequence, more than one may be applied to a given diagnosis. They are indicated by the instruction “specify” or “specify if” in the criteria set.

A

Specifiers

47
Q

They are disorder options for presentations that do not fit exactly into the diagnostic boundaries of disorders in each chapter.

A

Other specified and unspecified disorder

48
Q

It allows the clinician to communicate the specific reason that the presentation does not meet the criteria for any specific category within a diagnostic class. It is done by recording the name of the category, followed by the specific reason. It is given when the clinician determines that there is enough available clinical information to specify the nature of the presentation.

A

Other specified disorder

49
Q

It serves as a placeholder until a more complete differential diagnosis is possible. It is given if the clinician chooses not to specify the reason that the criteria are not met for a specific disorder. It is also given in cases where the clinician is not able to further specify the clinical presentation. It is usually given in emergency settings.

A

Unspecified disorder

50
Q

(T/F) The use of other specified and unspecified diagnosis is not a matter of clinical judgment. It is not the clinician’s choice to indicate or not the reasons why the presentation does not meet full criteria.

A

False

51
Q

(T/F) It is okay for individuals without clinical training to employ the use of the diagnostic categories, criteria, and textual descriptions of DSM-5.

A

52
Q

A

“the disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning”

53
Q

They are fundamental to medical record keeping as it facilitates data collection and retrieval and compilation of statistical information. They are also often required to report diagnostic data to interested third parties.

A

Diagnostic codes

54
Q

It is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission of the individual. It is indicated by listing it first, and the remaining disorders are listed in order of focus of attention and treatment.

A

Principal diagnosis

55
Q

It is used when there is currently insufficient information to indicate that the diagnostic criteria are met, but there is a strong presumption that the information will become available to allow that determination. It is used for those situations in which differential diagnosis depends exclusively on whether the duration of the illness does not exceed an upper limit as required by the diagnostic criteria.

A

Provisional diagnosis

56
Q

It refers to symptomatic presentations that are due to the physiological effects of an exogenous substance on the central nervous system, including symptoms that develop during withdrawal from an exogenous substance that is capable of causing physiological dependence.
