A nurse is interviewing a client who has borderline personality disorder. The nurse and client have agreed on an interview time, but the client resists discussing her feelings until 5 min prior to the end of the session and then asks for additional time. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Choice A reason: Setting an extra meeting time may reinforce manipulative behavior patterns common in borderline personality disorder. Choice B reason: Ending at the scheduled time maintains boundaries and consistency, which are crucial in managing borderline personality disorder. It teaches respect for limits and prevents manipulation. Choice C reason: Arranging for another nurse undermines continuity of care and does not address the boundary issue. Choice D reason: Extending the time reinforces manipulative behavior and undermines therapeutic boundaries.
