A nurse is reinforcing education to a newly licensed nurse about comorbidities associated with cluster B personality disorders. The nurse should identify which of the following disorders as a comorbidity?

A. Paranoid personality disorder. Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by distrust and suspicion of others without delusions or hallucinations. Individuals may misinterpret benign interactions as threatening but do not typically display magical thinking or bizarre beliefs.
B. Antisocial personality disorder. Antisocial personality disorder involves a disregard for social norms, manipulation, and lack of empathy. Individuals with this disorder do not usually exhibit delusions or claims of supernatural abilities.
C. Avoidant personality disorder. Avoidant personality disorder is marked by social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to criticism. These individuals avoid social situations but do not exhibit magical thinking or unusual beliefs.
D. Schizotypal personality disorder. Schizotypal personality disorder involves eccentric behavior, unusual thinking, and cognitive distortions such as magical thinking and paranoia. The belief that one can read minds is a characteristic feature of this disorder.

A. Engaging in extracurricular activities. Participating in extracurricular activities is generally associated with social support and positive mental health. Individuals involved in structured activities often have a sense of purpose and connection, which can be protective against suicide rather than a risk factor.
B. Loss of a job. Job loss is a significant risk factor for suicide due to its impact on financial stability, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Unemployment can lead to feelings of hopelessness, social isolation, and increased stress, all of which contribute to a higher suicide risk.
C. Financial stability. Financial stability generally reduces stress and provides security, lowering the likelihood of suicidal ideation. While financial difficulties can be a risk factor, having stable finances is not associated with increased suicide risk.
D. Exercising caution in behavior. Practicing caution in behavior reflects awareness of potential dangers and a tendency to avoid reckless or impulsive actions. Individuals who take precautions in their daily lives are less likely to engage in high-risk behaviors that could lead to suicide.
