A nurse is completing an admission assessment for a client who has narcissistic personality disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A) Preoccupied with aging: Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder often have an intense focus on their appearance and status, which can lead to preoccupation with aging. They may fear losing their attractiveness and the admiration they receive, making this a common finding during assessment. B) Suspicious of others: Suspiciousness is more characteristic of paranoid personality disorder. While individuals with narcissistic personality disorder may have difficulties in relationships, they are not typically driven by suspicion; rather, they may have an inflated sense of self-importance and entitlement. C) Exhibits separation anxiety: Separation anxiety is generally not associated with narcissistic personality disorder. Clients with this disorder often exhibit self-sufficiency and may not show signs of dependency that would lead to separation anxiety. D) Ritualistic behavior: Ritualistic behaviors are more indicative of obsessive-compulsive disorder or obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorder is focused on self-importance and seeking admiration rather than engaging in specific rituals or compulsions.
