Question 1 of 5
The mental health nurse is caring for a client with Cluster B personality disorder. The nurse would expect the client to exhibit which behaviors? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D
Rationale: Cluster B personality disorders (e.g., histrionic, borderline) involve attention-seeking, shallow relationships, impulsivity, and mood instability. Options A and E describe Cluster A, and B describes Cluster C.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement made by a client who has experienced a spinal cord injury resulting in chronic immobility issues warrants immediate follow-up by the nurse to assure client safety?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: It is important to allow the client with a spinal cord injury to verbalize her or his feelings. If the client indicates a desire to discuss her or his feelings, the nurse should respond therapeutically. Expressions of hopelessness or despair require immediate attention because they can indicate that the client is harboring suicidal ideations. Although the remaining statements require follow-up, they lack that serious component of despair and/or hopelessness.
Question 3 of 5
A client recovering from a brain attack (stroke) has become irritable and angry regarding self-limitations. Which is the best nursing approach to help the client regain motivation to keep trying to succeed as capable?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clients who have experienced a stroke have many and varied needs. It is also important to support and praise the client for accomplishments. The client may need her or his behavior pointed out so that correction can take place, and the client's behavior should not be ignored. Spouses of a stroke client are often grieving; therefore, more visitations may not be helpful. Additionally, short visits are often encouraged. Stating that the nurse knows how the client feels is inappropriate.
