Question 1 of 5

A nurse on a mental health unit is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. The client states, 'I will just see my regular doctor at my annual checkup after I am discharged.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. You should follow up with your regular doctor in the next few months so they can manage your new diagnosis. B. You have made such great progress here. I can see why you feel so well. C. It is recommended that you receive follow-up care from a mental health provider after you are discharged. D. Since you have such a good relationship with your family practice provider, you do not need to see a mental health provider.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because individuals with borderline personality disorder benefit from ongoing mental health support. A mental health provider can offer specialized therapy and medication management tailored to their diagnosis. Following up with a regular doctor may not provide the specific care needed for this condition.
Choice A is incorrect as it does not emphasize the importance of mental health care.
Choice B is incorrect as it ignores the seriousness of the diagnosis.
Choice D is incorrect as it overlooks the specialized care that mental health providers can offer.
