A nurse is assessing a client who has antisocial personality disorder. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. Self-mutilation: This behavior is more commonly associated with borderline personality disorder. Individuals with borderline traits may engage in self-harm as a means of emotional regulation or response to abandonment fears, not typical in antisocial personality disorder. B. Social isolation: Clients with antisocial personality disorder are often socially manipulative and may actively engage with others for personal gain. They are typically not socially withdrawn but can be superficially charming and exploitative. C. Paranoid ideation: Paranoia is more closely linked with paranoid or schizotypal personality disorders. While someone with antisocial traits may be suspicious if it serves their manipulative purposes, persistent paranoid ideation is not a defining feature. D. Lack of empathy: A hallmark feature of antisocial personality disorder is a disregard for others' feelings, rights, and safety. These clients often exhibit a lack of remorse and empathy, making them prone to violating social norms and laws without guilt.
