Answer to Question 1

C
When working with a client diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder, the nurse must communicate realistic limits regarding availability and the client's ability to gradually increase frustration tolerance. The client should be told what is possible and what is not possible with regard to the treatment and attention provided to the client. It is common for a client with disorder to become frustrated when he or she is not receiving constant attention.
