Answer to Question 1

A
Antisocial individuals are exploitative and manipulative. They prefer to control others to avoid being controlled. The attitudes of live and let live and help one another are not reflective of an individual with antisocial personality disorder since they are incapable of empathy or sympathy. Being a doormat reflects a poor sense of self-esteem and personal worth.

Answer to Question 2

A
The tasks of the introductory phase of the nurse-patient partnership include establishing a climate of trust, understanding, acceptance, and open communication and formulating a contract with the patient.
