Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Personality comprises the sum of each person's unique biopsychosocial characteristics. It consistently influences the person's inner experience and behavior across the lifespan. Personality is as essential to self-identity as physical appearance. It may even be considered the psychological equivalent of physical appearance, because neither changes easily or quickly.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Working with clients who have personality disorders is difficult. For this reason, nurses may find it helpful to discuss their emotional reactions to clients who have personality disorders with knowledgeable and trusted nurse colleagues. Doing so can facilitate nurses working through negative countertransference s, resulting in their tolerating and accepting feelings of irritation and anger as natural reactions to clients with personality disorders. This realization can increase the nurse's own self-awareness and sense of emotional control.
