Question 1 of 5
The RN is providing care for a client diagnosed with borderline personality disorder who has self-inflicted lacerations on the abdomen. Which approach should the RN use when changing this client’s dressing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Perform the dressing change in a non-judgmental manner. When caring for a client with borderline personality disorder who has self-inflicted injuries, it is crucial to approach the situation with empathy and without passing judgment. This approach helps build trust, maintains the therapeutic relationship, and encourages open communication. Providing detailed explanations (choice
A) may overwhelm the client. Asking about the self-inflicted behavior (choice
C) in a non-threatening manner can be appropriate but should not be the primary focus during the dressing change. Requesting another staff member's assistance (choice
D) may not be necessary if the RN can handle the situation effectively.
