Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has borderline personality disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Provide consistent boundaries for the client. For individuals with borderline personality disorder, consistent boundaries are crucial in establishing a sense of security and predictability. By providing clear and consistent limits, the nurse can help the client feel safe and supported. This approach also helps in managing the client's emotions and behaviors. Encouraging the use of countertransference (
B) is inappropriate, as it involves projecting the nurse's emotions onto the client. Maintaining consistency in assigning healthcare staff (
C) is important, but it is not as directly beneficial as setting boundaries. Demonstrating a sympathetic attitude (
D) is valuable, but without consistent boundaries, it may enable manipulative behaviors. Other options are not provided.
