A nurse is developing an in-service about personality disorders. Which of the following information should the nurse include when discussing borderline personality disorder?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, identity disturbance, and impulsivity (e.g., reckless spending, substance use, self-harm). Seductive behavior is more associated with histrionic personality disorder. Excessive clinginess without the broader pattern of instability is not the defining feature of BPD. Preoccupation with minor details is characteristic of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
