Michelle complains to the night nurse that the staff on the day shift don't like her. She continues to tell the nurse that she is the best nurse on the unit because she is always caring and kind. The nurse informs Michele that she will be on vacation for the next week. An hour later. Michelle is found cutting her wrists with a plastic knife. Which personality disorder would you suspect Michelle has?

A. Researchers have been unable to demonstrate a link between nature (biology and genetics) and nurture (environment): This statement is inaccurate. There is substantial evidence supporting the interaction between nature (biology and genetics) and nurture (environment) in the development of mental health conditions, including depression.

B. Medications are one way to address chemical imbalances. Environmental and interpersonal factors can also have an impact on biological factors: This is the correct answer. It acknowledges the role of medications in addressing chemical imbalances but also emphasizes the importance of environmental and interpersonal factors in influencing biological factors. This response aligns with a biopsychosocial model of understanding mental health.

C. Because biological factors are the sole cause of depression, medications will improve your mood: This statement oversimplifies the complex etiology of depression. Depression is a multifactorial condition influenced by biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Medications may be part of the treatment, but they are not the sole solution.

D. Environmental factors have been shown to exert the most influence in the development of depression: This statement is also incorrect. Depression is influenced by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. No single factor is solely responsible for the development of depression.

A. Self-destructive behavior despite alternative interventions: Mechanical restraints may be considered when a client poses an immediate risk of harm to themselves, and alternative interventions have been ineffective or are not feasible.

B. Discipline for throwing objects at staff: Mechanical restraints are not appropriate as a form of discipline. Restraints should only be used when there is an imminent risk of harm to the client or others.

C. Punishment for verbally abusing other clients: The use of restraints as a form of punishment is not ethical or appropriate. Restraints should be employed solely to prevent harm, not as a disciplinary measure.

D. Coercion to take prescribed medications: Coercion to take medications is not a valid reason for using mechanical restraints. Alternative approaches, such as therapeutic communication or discussing the need for medications with the client, should be explored.
