Answer: 1
Explanation: Individuals with schizoid personality disorder show a preference for solitary interests and claim to enjoy being alone. These individuals typically work at occupations that require minimal social interaction. Risk for violence and fear would be appropriate diagnoses for a patient with borderline personality disorder. Ineffective individual coping related to high dependency needs would be an appropriate nursing diagnosis for dependent personality disorder.
