Answer to Question 1

A
The individual with narcissistic personality disorder would most likely be described as arrogant, critical, and ruthless. The developmental history of persons with narcissistic personality disorder typically shows a pattern of selfless love and adoration from a significant adult. At the same time, the child experiences an ever-present threat to criticism for not being perfect. The individual appears arrogant, conceited, insensitive, and ruthless.

Answer to Question 2

C
The best example would be for the nurse to say, Let's go back to the situation where you felt uncomfortable in class. The nurse would be using the therapeutic communication technique of focusing. Focusing is when the nurse directs the conversation to focus on a topic of particular importance to the client. Here, the nurse asks questions about one theme that has emerged during the interaction with the client.
