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. Strict parental guidelines contribute to the development of personality disorders: While parenting style can influence personality development, strict guidelines alone do not directly cause personality disorders. Genetic, environmental, and social factors interact to contribute to their onset.
B. Personality disorders often manifest from childhood emotional trauma: Childhood emotional trauma, including neglect, abuse, and unstable relationships, is a significant risk factor for personality disorders. These experiences can lead to maladaptive coping mechanisms that persist into adulthood.
C. Clients of higher socioeconomic status are less likely to be diagnosed with personality disorders: Personality disorders occur across all socioeconomic backgrounds. Diagnosis may be influenced by access to mental health care, but the prevalence is not necessarily lower in higher socioeconomic groups.
D. Personality disorders are often seen in children under the age of 10: Personality disorders are not typically diagnosed in children because personality development is ongoing. Diagnosis usually occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood when patterns of behavior become persistent and disruptive.

A. Neurotransmitters are chemical components that allow neurons to store energy for future use. Neurotransmitters do not store energy; they facilitate communication between neurons by transmitting signals across synapses. Their primary function is to modulate brain activity, not energy storage.
B. Neurotransmitters are activated by the enzyme transferase. Neurotransmitters are not activated by transferase. They are synthesized, stored in vesicles, and released into the synaptic cleft in response to an action potential, where they bind to receptors to elicit a response.
C. Neurotransmitters function by inhibiting the production of glucose. Neurotransmitters do not inhibit glucose production. They play a role in neuronal signaling, affecting mood, cognition, and physiological processes, but do not directly regulate glucose metabolism.
D. Neurotransmitters are found throughout the body. Neurotransmitters exist in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, regulating various functions such as mood, movement, and autonomic responses. They are essential for communication between neurons in the brain and throughout the body.
