A psychiatric technician mentions to the nurse, All these clients with Axis II problems It makes me wonder how so many mothers could have been such poor parents and messed up their kids so badly
 
  The response by the nurse that helps put the development of personality disorders into perspec-tive is:
  1. Parenting is the responsibility of fathers, too, so don't blame only mothers.
  2. Personality disorder is often related to sexual abuse that occurs without parental knowledge.
  3. There is some evidence to suggest a biologic component to personality disor-ders.
  4. Peer interactions may be more important in child development than parental in-volvement.

Question 2

A psychiatric technician asks the nurse to explain the difference between schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia. The information that should serve as the basis for the nurse's re-sponse is the fact that with schizotypal personality disorder:
 
  1. There is greater personality disorganization than in schizophrenia
  2. There may be misinterpretation of events but not psychosis
  3. The client will be sicker and require longer hospitalization
  4. The client will be more outgoing, actively seeking interactions with others

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Tests show that schizotypal and schizoid disorders may reflect neurointegrative or neurochemical dysfunction and that affective dysregulation found in a number of personality disorders may be a function of serotonin abnormalities and may be implicated in impulsivity, aggression, and suicidal tendencies. The other options are either untrue or unhelpful.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Clients with schizotypal personality disorder may have problems thinking and accurately per-ceiving events, but symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thinking and hallucinations will be absent. 1. Personality disorganization is greater in schizophrenia. 3. Psychosis will require longer hospitalization. 4. Clients with schizotypal personality disorder may not be any more outgoing that client with schizophrenia.
