A client with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is described by other staff as being per-fectionistic, inflexible, and a master at procrastination.
 
  The nurse learns that the client is nearly immobilized during times that call for the client to make a decision. The nurse realizes that the most likely hypothesis is this behavior is related to:
  1. A need to make others uncomfortable
  2. Needing to be the center of attention
  3. Wanting someone else to be responsible
  4. Fear of making a mistake

Question 2

A client with a personality disorder asks the nurse, Is it true I have an inherited brain disorder? The nurse replies, knowing that:
 
  1. There is proof that personality disorders are inherited
  2. All persons with personality disorders display brain abnormalities
  3. Individuals with personality disorders show an error in brain glucose metabolism
  4. Individuals with personality disorders manifest some biological markers

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
This irrational belief is often the basis for procrastination and indecision. It is related to the cli-ent's need for perfection. The other options are not relevant for a client with this particular per-sonality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
There is a need for more research relating genetics and brain dysfunction to the personality dis-orders. While there are some biologic markers, none of the other options are true yet.
