Question 1 of 5
In assessing a client diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, which characteristic would the nurse expect to observe?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Little tolerance for being alone. Borderline personality disorder is characterized by intense fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and a pattern of unstable self-image. Individuals with this disorder often exhibit behaviors such as frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, extreme mood swings, impulsivity, and a pattern of unstable relationships. The lack of tolerance for being alone is a common trait due to the fear of abandonment.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because individuals with borderline personality disorder typically struggle with controlling anger, have unstable and unsatisfactory relationships, and exhibit unpredictable behavior rather than predictability.
