A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. The nurse should monitor for which of the following findings as an indication the client is having an acute hemolytic reaction?

Choice A reason: Conversion typically refers to the expression of psychological distress through physical symptoms, which is not the case here.

Choice B reason: Undoing is a defense mechanism where a person tries to 'undo' an unhealthy thought or behavior with a healthier one, which does not apply to Michael's situation.

Choice C reason: Compensation is a defense mechanism where a person overachieves in one area to make up for deficiencies in another, which describes Michael's actions.

Choice D reason: Sublimation involves channeling unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable activities, which is not explicitly indicated in this scenario.

Choice A reason: Patients with Personality Disorders often struggle with maladaptive behaviors. A general goal is to help them find nondestructive ways to fulfill their needs, promoting healthier interactions and coping mechanisms.

Choice B reason: While establishing relationships is important, the priority is to ensure that the patient's methods of interacting are healthy and nondestructive.

Choice C reason: Understanding the impact of one's behavior on others is a goal, but it is secondary to the patient learning nondestructive self-management skills.

Choice D reason: Employment is a long-term goal and, while important, it is not as immediately relevant to the therapeutic process as developing nondestructive behaviors.
