A nurse is caring for a client who has a personality disorder and is using transference to cope. Which of the following behaviors should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

This is common in clients with personality disorders. Refusing to participate in group activities (
A) may be related to social anxiety or avoidance, not necessarily transference. Talking negatively about staff members (
B) and expressing frustration regarding unit rules (
