A client with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is described by other staff as being per-fectionistic, inflexible, and a master at procrastination.
 
  The nurse learns that the client is nearly immobilized during times that call for the client to make a decision. The nurse realizes that the most likely hypothesis is this behavior is related to:
  1. A need to make others uncomfortable
  2. Needing to be the center of attention
  3. Wanting someone else to be responsible
  4. Fear of making a mistake

Question 2

A client with a personality disorder asks the nurse, Is it true I have an inherited brain disorder? The nurse replies, knowing that:
 
  1. There is proof that personality disorders are inherited
  2. All persons with personality disorders display brain abnormalities
  3. Individuals with personality disorders show an error in brain glucose metabolism
  4. Individuals with personality disorders manifest some biological markers

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
This irrational belief is often the basis for procrastination and indecision. It is related to the cli-ent's need for perfection. The other options are not relevant for a client with this particular per-sonality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
There is a need for more research relating genetics and brain dysfunction to the personality dis-orders. While there are some biologic markers, none of the other options are true yet.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
