Question 1 of 5
When assessing a client diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, the nurse expects to identify which characteristic behavior?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Grandiose sense of self-importance. In narcissistic personality disorder, individuals exhibit an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a need for excessive admiration, and a lack of empathy. This behavior is characterized by arrogance, a belief in their own superiority, and a sense of entitlement. This grandiose self-view serves to mask underlying feelings of inadequacy and insecurity.
Choice A (Submissive and clinging behaviors) is incorrect because these behaviors are more commonly associated with dependent personality disorder.
Choice C (Pattern of intense and chaotic relationships) is incorrect as it is more indicative of borderline personality disorder.
Choice D (Odd beliefs and magical thinking) is incorrect as it aligns more with schizotypal personality disorder.
