NSG 221: Exam 4 (Modules 11, 12, & 13)- correct answer Avoidant personality disorder - correct answer Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of social discomfort and reticence, low self-esteem, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation. Clients with avoidant personality disorder have low self-esteem. They are hypersensitive to negative evaluation from others and readily believe themselves to be inferior. Clients may report some success in occupational roles because they are so eager to please or to win a supervisor's approval. Shyness, awkwardness, or fear of failure, however, may prevent them from seeking jobs that might be more suitable, challenging, or rewarding. - correct answer Histrionic personality disorder - correct answer Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking. The tendency of these clients to exaggerate the closeness of relationships or to dramatize relatively minor occurrences can result in unreliable data. Expressed emotions, though colorful, are insincere and shallow; this is readily apparent to others but not to clients. They experience rapid shifts in moods and emotions and may be laughing uproariously one moment and sobbing the next. Antisocial personality disorder - correct answer Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others—and by the central characteristics of deceit and manipulation. Schizotypal personality disorder - correct answer Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by a pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by acute discomfort with and reduced capacity for close relationships as well as by cognitive or perceptual distortions and behavioral eccentricities. Clients often have an odd appearance that causes others to notice them. They may be unkempt and disheveled, and their clothes are often ill-fitting, do not match, and may be stained or dirty. They may wander aimlessly and, at times, become preoccupied with some environmental detail. Cognitive distortions include ideas of reference, magical thinking, odd or unfounded beliefs, and a preoccupation with parapsychology, including extrasensory perception and clairvoyance.
