Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who exhibits excessive attention-seeking behaviors, including acting flirtatious and seductive. The nurse should identify these behaviors as manifestations of which of the following personality disorders?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Histrionic. Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by excessive attention-seeking behaviors, such as being flirtatious and seductive, in order to gain approval and attention from others. Individuals with histrionic personality disorder often display exaggerated emotions and seek to be the center of attention. This client's behavior aligns with the key features of histrionic personality disorder.

Other choices are incorrect:
A: Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others, which is not exhibited in the client's attention-seeking behaviors.
C: Narcissistic personality disorder involves a grandiose sense of self-importance and a lack of empathy for others, not the attention-seeking behaviors displayed by the client.
D: Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for the rights of others and a lack of remorse for harmful actions, which do not align with the attention-seeking behaviors exhibited by the client.
