Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should manage the milieu with structure and limit-setting. Removing the aggressive child to another waiting area is an appropriate consequence for the aggressiveness. Directing the child to stop will not be effective. This is not an emergency situation. Intervention is needed rather than sending the child away.

Answer to Question 2

B
Schizotypal individuals have poor social skills. Social situations are uncomfortable for them. It is desirable for the individual to develop the ability to meet and socialize with others. Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder usually have no issues with adherence to unit norms, nor are they self-mutilating or manipulative.
