Answer to Question 1

B
It is important to communicate to the patient in a way that helps the patient view the inappropriate behavior from others' viewpoints, to observe the catalysts that trigger the behavior, and to view adaptive alternatives. Confrontation can escalate aggression on the unit and is nontherapeutic in that it can promote a regressive struggle between the nurse and the patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
The coworker's behaviors are consistent with histrionic personality disorder. Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by rapid emotional swings, destructive behavior, and inability to form close interpersonal relationships. Persons with histrionic personality disorder may have mood swings, moving almost instantaneously from loud laughter to tears. Their primary aim is to keep themselves the focus of attention.
