A nurse is meeting with a patient with borderline personality disorder who is being admitted to a ...

A nurse is meeting with a patient with borderline personality disorder who is being admitted to a partial hospitalization program (PHP). The patient asks what she should do to make sure that people in the program will like her. What is an appropriate response the nurse might make?
1. "People will like you if you follow all the rules and come every day."
2. "The program usually works best if you can focus on what you need, not on how others feel. Can you tell me some things you would like to see happen here?
3. "People sometimes avoid people who are depressed. Getting your symptoms under control and learning how to make friends is the best way to get people to like you."
4. "Getting people to like you is not an appropriate goal. You need to work on understanding how to set goals and then on what you have to do in order to accomplish them."
