Answer to #1

C
Individuals with avoidant personalities desire relationships but keep their anxiety at a low level by avoiding situations in which they might experience rejection. They are timid, uncertain, and often withdrawn. The other options describe behaviors that would not be seen in patients with avoidant personality disorder.

Answer to #2

C
The goal should be directly related to the defining characteristics of the nursing diagnosis; in this case improvement in the child's aggressiveness and play. The distracters are more relevant for a child with pervasive developmental disorder or anxiety disorder.

Answer to #3

C
The nurse must protect vulnerable patients and keep them from being drawn into the manic patient's angry behavior. By stating that the behavior is not permitted, the nurse sets limits and does not enter into an argument. The distracters will further anger the patient, may cause escalation, or may allow for loss of control.

Answer to #4

D
The excessive motion, distractibility, and excessive talkativeness are seen in ADHD. The behaviors presented in the scenario do not suggest the other possible choices. Developmental delays would be seen if pervasive developmental disorder or Asperger's disorder were present.

Answer to #5

B
There are times when the nurse must simply, calmly, and firmly interrupt a manic patient. Waiting is counterproductive. Yelling at the patient and delaying necessary assessments are inappropriate.

Answer to #6

C
The individual with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is perfectionist, rigid, preoccupied with rules and procedures, and afraid of making mistakes. The other options refer to behaviors or traits not usually associated with this personality disorder.
