I need someone to take care of me.” The nurse identifies this behavior as an example of which of the following defense mechanisms?

A) involves blocking out unpleasant thoughts or memories, which is not evident here. Introjection (
B) involves internalizing the beliefs of others, not applicable in this situation. Dissociation (
