Answer to Question 1

D
Most nurses recognize negative feelings toward clients and monitor associated behaviors; thus
effective care can be preserved. When positive countertransference occurs, self-assessment may be
more difficult. Believing that a client with antisocial personality disorder is motivated to change can
hinder care-giving because motivation for change is usually nonexistent. Nursing assessment and
evaluation will be inaccurate and interventions may be inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

A
Untreated clients with anorexia nervosa do not recognize their thinness. They perceive themselves to
be overweight and unattractive. Option B: The client with anorexia will usually tell people
perceptions of self. Option C: The client with anorexia does not recognize his or her thinness. Option
D: The client with anorexia does not recognize the thinness and will persist in trying to lose more
weight.
