Answer to Question 1

A
Hypnotherapy would not be an appropriate treatment modality for a client with a personality disorder. The client may have an anger management problem and need to be taught methods to manage anger and relieve stress. Another possibility is that the client has deficits in conversational and social skills. One of the central problems individuals who have personality disorder experience is interpersonal difficulties. The nurse can provide feedback with regard to the client's communication and assist the client in adjusting behavior to lessen the interpersonal difficulties experienced.

Answer to Question 2

C
Management for children with ADHD includes contingency management, stimulant drug therapy, family therapy for conflict, assigning tasks in small steps to channel energy, behavior therapy, parenting-skills training, home help, environmental modification to reduce distractions, and educational programs for learning disabilities.
