Answer to Question 1

A
The female client with unstable, chaotic family; comorbid depression; and substance abuse would most likely develop personality disorder. One author describes the family history of the borderline personality as a disaster a day and likens the resultant family life to the plot of a television soap opera. BPD have some history of feeling abandoned, fearful, and unprotected as children.

Answer to Question 2

D
The patient's perception is a key factor. What may be trivial to one may seem overwhelming to another and vice versa. If the patient does not perceive the event as problematical, a crisis may be averted.
