behaviors that are annoying to other co-workers. Because of the confrontation, the client has
experienced moderate to severe levels of anxiety.

very difficult because she is a perfectionist and micromanages the tasks of others on the teaching
team, always demanding that things should be done according to her plans. The co-worker

that her co-workers feel frustrated and angry about her need to control. The client states she likes her
co-workers and only wanted to help them be successful. The nurse realizes the client's behaviors are
most consistent with
a. obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
b. narcissistic personality disorder.
