Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Persons with BPD view the world in absolutes; nurses and other treatment team members are alternately categorized as all good or all bad. This defense is called splitting, and presents clinicians with a challenge to work openly with each other, as well as the client, until the issue can be resolved through team meetings and clinical supervision. Identity diffusion occurs when a person lacks aspects of personal identity or when personal identity is poorly developed. Dissociation is a cognitive dysfunction reflected as thinking, feeling or behaving outside a person's awareness. Cognitive schema refers to patterns of thoughts that determine how a person interprets events.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, D, E
When setting limits to maintain boundaries, the nurse must clearly state the limits and consequences for violating them, and ensure that they are consistently maintained. In addition, the nurse must respond to a client's arrogance in a neutral manner that avoids confrontation and a power struggle. The nurse also should discuss the purpose of the limits in the therapeutic relationship and confront violations in a nonpunitive way.
