A nurse is planning care for a client who has borderline personality disorder. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to include to assist the client with impaired social interactions with others?

A. Encouraging dependent behaviors can reinforce maladaptive behaviors in clients with borderline personality disorder. The goal is to promote independence and healthier interpersonal skills, not dependence. B. Clients with borderline personality disorder often experience intense feelings of abandonment. Addressing and exploring these feelings in a supportive way can help the client better manage their emotions and improve social interactions. C. Avoiding discussion of maladaptive behaviors does not help the client address these issues. It is important to discuss and provide strategies to manage and change such behaviors constructively. D. While consistency can be helpful, assigning the same staff daily may contribute to unhealthy attachment or dependency. It is important to help the client learn to manage interpersonal interactions in various settings.
