Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching the family of a client who has a new diagnosis of borderline personality disorder about the disorder. Which of the following information should be the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Awareness of potential for self-harm. This should be the nurse's priority because individuals with borderline personality disorder are at a higher risk for self-harm and suicide. By educating the family about the potential signs and risks of self-harm, they can help prevent any harmful behaviors and seek appropriate help.
Choice A is important but not the priority.
Choices C and D, while beneficial, are not as critical as addressing the immediate safety concerns related to self-harm.
