Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients with personality disorders have difficulty relating to others. As a consequence, these individuals have difficulty defining boundaries between themselves and others. Part of nurs-ing care is to define boundaries within the therapeutic relationship in order to develop safe, patient-centered therapeutic relationships. The use of chemical and/or physical restraints is determined by institutional policies, not personal decision. The remaining options are appro-priate for all patient care, not specifically care of patients with personality disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
How the patient interacts within the family system and the role that the patient takes (e.g., victim, placater) will offer the nurse the most insight into the patient's self-perception. The other options are focused on assessing and/or affecting self-esteem.
