A client diagnosed with a personality disorder states, “You are the very best nurse on the unit and not at all like that mean nurse who never lets us stay up later than 9 p.m.” This statement would be associated with which personality disorder?

A: Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspicion of others, which is not reflected in the client’s statement. B: Antisocial personality disorder involves a disregard for the rights of others and a lack of remorse, which is not indicated in the client’s statement. C: Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships and emotional coldness, which does not align with the client’s statement. D: Borderline personality disorder is characterized by intense and unstable relationships, often involving idealization and devaluation of others. The client’s statement reflects this pattern by idealizing one nurse and devaluing another.
