A nurse is admitting a client who has antisocial personality disorder. Which of the following client behaviors should the nurse identify as consistent with this disorder?

A. Compulsive attention to details: This behavior is more characteristic of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, not antisocial personality disorder. It reflects a need for order and control rather than disregard for others. B. Avoids interacting with others: Social withdrawal is typical of avoidant personality disorder. Clients with antisocial personality disorder generally seek interactions they can exploit, rather than avoiding social contact. C. Uses others for personal gain: Exploiting others for personal benefit is a hallmark of antisocial personality disorder. Clients often display deceitfulness, manipulativeness, and a lack of regard for the rights or feelings of others, consistent with this diagnosis. D. Socially awkward in group situations: Social awkwardness may be seen in schizoid or schizotypal personality disorders. Clients with antisocial personality disorder usually engage socially in a confident or charming manner when it serves their goals, rather than showing awkwardness.
