Answer to Question 1

3. The client sits with others in lounge area conversing about current affairs.

Rationale:
In clients with personality disorders, improvement will be achieved slowly. The client who is observed sitting with others in the lounge area conversing about current affairs is showing indications that treatment has been beneficial. The other observed behaviors would indicate that treatment needs to be continued.

Answer to Question 2

3. The client will interact socially with others.

Rationale:
The client is demonstrating antisocial behavior. A goal that addresses the antisocial behavior is for the client to interact socially with others. The other goals would not specifically measure the effectiveness of interventions to address the client's antisocial behavior.
