Answer to Question 1

D
The theory of Hildegard Peplau is relevant to the practice of psychiatric nursing because it focuses on the nurse-client relationship. According to Peplau, the client enters into a relationship with the nurse and is helped to examine patterns of relationships and interactions with others.

Answer to Question 2

A
Eccentric is the most appropriate descriptor of a person with schizotypal personality disorder. Such individuals have great difficulty forming close relationships with others; therefore they would not likely be referred to as warm. The odd behavior, appearance, and statements made by such people would most certainly not be described as controlled, but would most definitely be described as eccentric. Individuals with schizotypal personality disorder are also not known to be particularly jovial. Other terms used to describe a person with schizotypal personality disorder are odd and peculiar.
