Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Telling the client that everything will be okay is false reassurance and blocks communication. Rather, the nurse should focus on what the information means to the client. Supporting the client's cultural beliefs about expressing his or her feelings, encouraging the client to focus on one thing at a time, and explaining information clearly are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Evidence suggests that when people with borderline personality disorder are distressed, they are predisposed to interpret social situations as threatening and to respond with emotional dysregulation, verbal attacks, and physical violence. People who meet the diagnostic criteria of antisocial personality disorder, have an extensive history of criminal behavior, and who are generally violent are also more likely to be both aggressive and assaultive. These perpetrators have a heightened sensitivity to emotional displays that predispose them to interpret social situations as threatening and to respond with emotional dysregulation, verbal attacks, and physical violence.
