Answer to Question 1

B
A male with familial adoration, expectation to be perfect, and rigid personality is most likely to develop narcissistic personality disorder. 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. While the personality structure is stable, it is very rigid.

Answer to Question 2

B
The best response to the client's statement is to say, You think it's too much for you? In this situation, the nurse is using the therapeutic communication technique of restating, Restating is a technique whereby the nurse repeats the main message the client has expressed. Restating, also called paraphrasing, permits the nurse to verify understanding of the client's message and also permits the client to reflect on the statement and emotion expressed. The other options are nontherapeutic and may create barriers to further communication with the client.
