A nurse is assessing a client who states that she becomes extremely anxious in social gatherings. She tells the nurse that she never feels "good enough" for her coworkers.
The nurse should identify that these findings can indicate which of the following personality disorders.

Choice A rationale

The shoulder harness straps should be positioned at or below the infant's shoulders when using a rear-facing car seat. This placement ensures that the crash forces are distributed across the strongest parts of the body and prevents the baby from sliding up out of the straps during an impact.

Choice B rationale

The retainer clip, or chest clip, should be placed at the level of the armpits, across the sternum. This position ensures that the shoulder straps remain securely on the shoulders and prevents the baby from being ejected from the harness in the event of a collision. Placing it on the abdomen can cause serious injury.

Choice C rationale

A 45-degree angle in a rear-facing car seat is a crucial safety measure. This reclined position ensures that the infant's airway remains open and unobstructed. It prevents the head from slumping forward, which could lead to positional asphyxiation, especially in newborns who lack strong neck control.

Choice D rationale

Current safety recommendations advise keeping a child rear-facing for as long as possible, until they reach the maximum height or weight limits of their car seat, which is typically well beyond one year of age. Turning the seat forward-facing at 1 year is no longer considered the safest practice. *.

Choice A rationale

Measuring the client's legs with a tape measure is the correct action to ensure proper sizing of the antiembolic stockings. Correct sizing is critical for effective venous compression and to prevent complications such as skin irritation, tissue damage, or impaired circulation. Stockings that are too tight can act as a tourniquet, while those that are too loose will not provide the necessary graduated compression to facilitate venous return and prevent blood stasis, which is the underlying cause of deep-vein thrombosis. This precise measurement ensures the stockings fit snugly and provide optimal therapeutic benefit.

Choice B rationale

Removing the stockings every 24 hours is an insufficient interval for skin integrity checks and to allow for proper cleaning and assessment. The standard practice involves removing antiembolic stockings at least twice daily for a short period. This allows the nurse to inspect the client's skin for any signs of pressure, irritation, or breakdown, and to perform hygiene. Prolonged, continuous wear without breaks can compromise skin integrity and increase the risk of developing pressure injuries, especially in a client who is less mobile due to their condition.

Choice C rationale

Folding the stockings at the top is a harmful and dangerous practice. Folding creates a constrictive band around the client's leg, which acts as a tourniquet. This constriction impedes venous and lymphatic return, leading to increased risk of blood stasis, edema, and tissue damage. The pressure from the folded band can severely compromise circulation and potentially worsen the client's underlying deep-vein thrombosis. The stockings should be smooth and wrinkle-free to provide uniform graduated compression.

Choice D rationale

Massaging the legs of a client with deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is contraindicated and can be extremely dangerous. Massaging can dislodge the thrombus (blood clot) from the venous wall. If the clot becomes dislodged, it can travel through the bloodstream, leading to a pulmonary embolism (PE), a life-threatening condition where the clot obstructs a pulmonary artery in the lungs. Therefore, any form of massage or direct pressure on the affected limb is strictly avoided to prevent this potentially fatal complication. *.
