Question 1 of 5
Using Mahler's theory of object relations, which should the nurse expect to note in a client with BPD's childhood?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Mahler's theory focuses on stages of child development. Step 2: During individuation, child separates from mother to develop own identity. Step 3: In BPD, maternal inconsistency leads to confusion during this stage. Step 4: Lack of consistency can result in identity issues and emotional instability. Summary: Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the specific issue of inconsistency during individuation in BPD.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing diagnosis best addresses a client problem associated with an IQ of 47?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Impaired social interaction R/T nonadherence to social convention. This nursing diagnosis addresses the client's problem of having an IQ of 47, as individuals with intellectual disabilities may struggle with social interactions due to difficulty understanding social norms. Impaired social interaction is a common issue for individuals with lower IQs, impacting their ability to engage in appropriate social behaviors. Choice A is incorrect because self-mutilation is not directly related to the client's IQ level. Choice C is incorrect as delusional thinking is not necessarily associated with intellectual disabilities. Choice D is incorrect because decreased gross motor skills do not directly correlate with social isolation in the context of the client's IQ level.
Question 3 of 5
What percentage of ID cases result in early alterations in embryonic development?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D (30%). The majority of ID cases result from early alterations in embryonic development, affecting brain development and function. These alterations can lead to intellectual disabilities. Choice A (5%) is too low; ID cases are more prevalent. Choice B (10%) is also too low; the percentage is higher.

Therefore, choice D (30%) is the most accurate representation of the percentage of ID cases resulting from early alterations in embryonic development.
