Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nurturance provided from one source and discouragement of independent behaviors can attribute to the etiology of dependent personality disorder. Dependent behaviors may be rewarded by a parent who is overprotective and discourages autonomy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should educate the family that clients diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder desire intimacy but fear it, whereas clients diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder prefer to be alone. Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by an extreme sensitivity to rejection, which leads to social isolation. Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a profound deficit in the ability to form personal relationships.
